Hematology Flashcards
A medical technologist was performing erythrocyte morphology evaluation and observed 10 to 20 stomatocytes per oil immersion field. This is graded as
2+
Codocytes graded as 3+
Greater than 20 per field
Codocytes: 41 per OIF
3+
A microscopist saw at least 5-10 acanthocytes per oil immersion field. The medical technologist should report it as
2+
A peripheral blood smear was reported to have 2+ schistocytes. How many of the said poikilocyte is expected to be seen per OIF
5-10
Twelve (12) RBCs with basophilic stippling were seen on a blood smear. How do you report this finding
