What's the difference between microcyte and microerythrocyte?
Microcyte
Definition:
(n.) One of the elementary granules found in blood. They are much smaller than an ordinary corpuscle, and are particularly noticeable in disease, as in anaemia.
Example Sentences:
(1) The duodenal mucosa of genotypically normal iron replete and iron deficient mice and mice with sex-linked (sla) and microcytic anemias (mk) was examined for the presence of iron-binding proteins.
(2) Such properties, as assessed by the H*1 hematology analyzer, are very useful in distinguishing these two common types of microcytic anemia.
(3) This increase is exaggerated when hematocrit levels are increased and the cells are hypochromic and microcytic.
(4) An 11-year-old girl presented with a refractory hypochromic microcytic anemia, hypoferremia, normoblastic hyperplastic bone marrow, hypergammaglobulinemia, and growth retardation.
(5) These data suggest that the anaemia of JCA is typically microcytic, and that this microcytosis is associated with the disturbance of iron metabolism seen in the 'anaemia of chronic disorders' rather than overall depletion of body iron.
(6) A prospective study was carried out in 83 patients with microcytic anemia.
(7) When assessed on a test data set that comprised 149 unselected cases of microcytic anemia, a microcytic-hypochromic ratio lower than 0.9 demonstrated high sensitivity (94.0%), specificity (92.3%), and predictive value (94.0%) for the presence of iron-deficient erythropoiesis in patients with isolated iron deficiency, polycythemia vera treated by phlebotomy, and iron deficiency complicating heterozygous thalassemia.
(8) This study confirmed other earlier data that these anemic rats with AA had reduced serum iron levels and that the anemia was characterized as mild, non-progressive, hypochromic, microcytic.
(9) In addition, to prevent erroneous results due to giant platelets or microcytic red blood cells, the platelet histogram should be inspected for return to baseline at 20 cubic micrometers (fL).

(14) In particular, measurement of the fraction of microcytes is very sensitive to minor changes in the MCV values if a normocytic RBC population combined with a microcytic RBC fraction shows a wide dispersion in their cell volumes.
(15) For quantification of the fraction of microcytes an upper threshold corresponding with a RBC volume of 70 fL is established.
(16) The shift is concordant with a significantly higher fraction of microcytes in male subjects, as well as with lower mean corpuscular volume (MCV) values in males compared with females.
