The
results of the latest digital morphology exercise came out today.
The
actual diagnosis was of reactive lymphocytes (a response to EBV infection) but also abnormal red cell morphology
reflecting South East Asian Ovalocytosis (SEAO)

Concerning the red cells; what condition is most likely responsible
for their appearances?

What diagnosis (or diagnoses) do you
think best describes the appearances of this film?

Viral
infection ? GF in somneone with hereditary ovalocytosis (?? SE Asian)
