Poikilocyte
Definition:
(n.) An irregular form of corpuscle found in the blood in cases of profound anaemia, probably a degenerated red blood corpuscle.
Example Sentences:
(1) In both studies, the poikilocytes were identified as echinocytes, spiculated erythrocytes, and schizocytes.
(2) Spiculated poikilocytes occur in several different forms.
(3) Light microscopic studies indicated that approximately one-fifth as much urea is required to block sickling as is necessary to reverse sickled poikilocytes to normal forms.
(4) Calves less than six weeks of age had more poikilocytes, lower serum iron, higher total iron binding capacity, less adult hemoglobin and more neonatal and fetal hemoglobin than calves greater than six weeks of age.
(5) Bite cells are morphologically characterized as poikilocytes with one or more semicircular portions removed from the cell margin.
(6) Sensibilization has resulted in the rise of echinocyte, poikilocyte and schizocyte blood level.
(7) A kindred is described in which two brothers with a poikilocytic variant of hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) were found to have a defect of spectrin dimer association and a decreased spectrin-band 3 ratio.
(8) Clinical expression of HE in these families ranges from mild elliptocytosis without hemolysis to severe poikilocytic hemolytic anemia clinically resembling HPP.
(9) Thus, co-inheritance of two alpha spectrin defects can result in a poikilocytic hemolytic anemia milder than that usually found in HPP.
