Sickle cell anemia. A peripheral blood smear shows numerous sickled cells, as well as normoblasts and occasional target cells. The erythrocyte to the left of center contains a Howell-Jolly body, indicative of functional hyposplenism.

FIGURE 41.7. The peripheral blood smear of refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts is characterized by a dimorphic red cell population. A distinct population of hypochromic, often microcytic erythrocytes can be found admixed with normochromic, normocytic, or macrocytic erythrocytes.
