I got to see
the NEQAS blood film result today and got to compare it to what I thought:
1703 BF1
Rbc -
anisocytosis with macrocytes, burr cells and some target cells. A few NRBC seen
Wbc -
neutropenia
Plt -
thrombocytopenia
I was rather
vaue about this other than that the patient was very unwell.
The actual
patient was on an ITU
1703 BF2
Rbc -
hypochromia with lots of NRBC seen. Some show basophilic stippling
Wbc -
unremarkable
Plt - unremarkable
I thought
this was a thalassamia intermedia /
major
It was
actually a case of HbE / beta-thalassaemia.
Got those
right…
