<prompt> Blood smear of patient of G6PD shows?Howell jolly bodiesHeinz bodiesCabot ringsPelger-Huet anomaly  <response>: Ans. b Heinz bodies. Heinz bodies are a result of polymerization and precipitation of denatured hemoglobin molecules. They are visible on special stains only like supra-vital stain. Howell jolly bodies are due to DNA which appears as a basophilic purple spot on the otherwise eosinophilic pink erythrocyte on a standard HE stained blood smear. These inclusions are normally removed by the spleen during erythrocyte circulation, but will persist in individuals with functional hyposplenia or asplenia.Image source- styletext-decoration: underline; color: rgba17, 85, 204, 1; font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif
