Hemoglobin SC Crystals

View larger version (140K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 1. Peripheral smear from a patient with SC disease is shown. Note the presence of target cells, polychromatophilic cells and RBCs with condensed hemoglobin crystals (arrows) giving the these RBCs distorted shapes.

View larger version (167K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 2. RBC abnormalities in SC include target cells (double arrow), distorted RBCs due to the presence of SC crystals (single arrow), and sickle-like forms (double blunt arrow).

View larger version (152K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 3. A nucleated RBC (large arrow) is shown in addition to a typical target cell (small arrow).

View larger version (110K): [in this window] [in a new window]   Figure 4. The variability of distorted RBC forms (arrow) due to SC crystal formation can be seen in this view.
