Basophilic Stippling - Lead Poisoning

View larger version (80K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 1. Peripheral smear from a 3-year-old with history of pica who had a hemoglobin of 9.5 g/dL. RBCs are normochromic/normocytic but polychromatophilic cells are markedly hypochromic and contain multiple coarse basophilic granules. (W-G 50x)

View larger version (89K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 2. The coarse basophilic stippling is most prominent in the younger (poly-chromatophilic)RBCs, a typical finding in lead intoxication.

View larger version (98K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 3. Although the coarse stippling is most prominent in the polychromatophilic cells, the mature RBCs noted in the center of the slide also have similar single inclusions.

View larger version (116K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 4. Another example of the coarse basophilic inclusions, primarily limited to the younger polychromatophilic cells.
