Spherocytosis
The future blogs will be on confusers.
Q. On peripheral blood smears there is presence of spherocytes. What are the differentials and the test to identify the same?
Most of you have prompted it as hereditary spherocytosis.
Let see.
Ans. DIFFERENTIALS :-
- HEREDITARY SPHEROCYTOSIS
- AUTO-IMMUNE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA
For hereditary spherocytosis go for osmotic fragility test.
So spherocytosis doesn't means Hereditary, it could be acquired, usually preceded by an infection.
HAPPY STUDYING :)
