Patient Demography: Male, 15-year-old, admitted to hospital with pain in both legs.
Diagnosis: Hemolytic anemia, sickle cell disease
Microscopic Observation: WBC morphology shows Neutrophilic leukocytosis. Occasional nRBCs seen (1/100WBC). RBC morphology was characteristic of sickle cells (+++), target cells, anisocytosis, polychromasia, and Howell Jolly bodies.
How Yumizen Can Assist: The RBC Abnormal (indices) and PLT interference alarms, with high RDW-CV & SD, and non-smoothen RBC histogram, indicated the presence of a high degree of anisopoikilocytosis, and confirmed as sickle cells on microscopy. The LMNE matrix and Baso histogram also indicate the presence of a few immature granulocytes and occasional nRBCs.
