&lt;p>☝🏻Myelocyte nuclei are characterized by alternating lighter and darker areas of chromatin. Nucleoli are often absent in the myelocyte nucleus. Abundant specific cytoplasmic granules are observed in the cytoplasm.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Blood Smear in Beta-Thalassemia Post-Splenectomy</title><link>https://www.leukoformula.com/en/post/mazok-krovi-pri-beta-talassemii-posle-splenektomii-37307/</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2026 09:00:01 +0300</pubDate><guid>https://www.leukoformula.com/en/post/mazok-krovi-pri-beta-talassemii-posle-splenektomii-37307/</guid><description>&lt;p>👉🏻Severe anisopoikilocytosis in a patient with beta-thalassemia and splenectomy.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>➖This is a hereditary blood disorder in which the synthesis of beta-globin chains is impaired.&lt;/p>

&lt;p>🔹The smear contains target cells (codocytes) characteristic of thalassemia (photo 1)&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Giant Platelets: Morphology and Analyzer Errors</title><link>https://www.leukoformula.com/en/post/gigantskie-trombocity-morfologiya-i-oshibki-37170/</link><pubDate>Fri, 13 Mar 2026 10:00:01 +0300</pubDate><guid>https://www.leukoformula.com/en/post/gigantskie-trombocity-morfologiya-i-oshibki-37170/</guid><description>&lt;p>🔍Giant platelet.
😯Its diameter even exceeds that of a red blood cell.
📌An abundance of such platelet forms can lead to incorrect counting by hematology analyzers that use only the impedance method.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Megaloblasts and Dyserythropoiesis in Anemia During Pregnancy</title><link>https://www.leukoformula.com/en/post/megaloblasty-i-dizeritropoez-pri-anemii-u-34449/</link><pubDate>Fri, 26 Dec 2025 10:00:01 +0300</pubDate><guid>https://www.leukoformula.com/en/post/megaloblasty-i-dizeritropoez-pri-anemii-u-34449/</guid><description>&lt;p>🩸 A 35-year-old woman, 24 weeks pregnant.
