Pappenheimer Bodies

View larger version (158K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 1. Peripheral smear from a patient with alcoholic liver disease. The hypochromic RBC to the right of center contains three small blue granular, irregular-shaped inclusions on the periphery of the RBC. These iron-containing (ferritin) granules are called Pappenheimer bodies and can be seen on a Wright-Giemsa stained blood smear. A Prussian Blue stain is need to confirm the presence of non-heme iron in the granules.
