Various morphological changes such as droplet cells, eliptical cells, macrocyte and
microcyte in erythrocyte of infected camel were also observed with the help of light microscope.
It reveals that the frequency of erythrocytes with pear shape and leptocyte in groups E-G while the frequency of
microcyte and lobed nuclei was significantly higher in birds of groups F-G throughout the experiment as compared to control group.

I've learned things like the difference between a
microcyte and a macrocyte, something about the coagulation cascade, and what a chemistry analyzer does.
Peripheral smear findings include
microcytes, hypochromic RBC & anisopoikilocytosis.
In erythrocytes, morphological alterations were anisocytosis, poikilocytosis, target cells,
microcytes, spherocytes, polychromic RBCs, howell jolly bodies, immature nucleated RBCs and rouleaux formation.
Abnormal red blood cells (RBCs) with low volume, including
microcytes, schistocytes, and spherocytes, have been reported to be the cause of spuriously high platelet counts.
Schistocytes, anisocytes, macrocytes,
microcytes, ovalocytes, helmet, and tear drop cells were present on the peripheral blood smear.
The blood smear has typical thalassemic features, including hypochromia, target cells, basophilic stippling, occasional
microcytes, and red cell fragments [10].
Peripheral smear study of anemia showed
microcytes with central pallor greater than 50% (hypochromic).
microcyte - an abnormally small red blood cell (less than 5 microns in diameter)
