Basophilic Stippling of Erythrocytes in P5'N Deficiency

Basophilic stippling of erythrocytes in peripheral blood smear: morphological features in pyrimidine-5'-nucleotidase deficiency and hemolytic anemia.

Peripheral blood smear: erythrocytes with prominent basophilic stippling
Peripheral blood smear: erythrocytes with prominent basophilic stippling

The correct answer to the challenge from the closed club of laboratory hematologists. B. Basophilic stippling of erythrocytes. The presence of polychromatophilic macrocytes with prominent (from fine to coarse) basophilic stippling in the presence of congenital hemolytic anemia is characteristic of pyrimidine-5’-nucleotidase (P5’N) deficiency. 🏆 Congratulations to the winners!

👉To join the closed group of laboratory hematologists, winners simply need to write to the instructor: “I want to join the elite club of specialists.” Then Evgeny Gennadievich will send a private invitation in response.
