| The Bombay Blood Group Homozygous “hh” individuals do not form H substance and thus have no way for late sugars to attach. The blood group resulting from the homozygous “hh” condition is called the Bombay blood group (Bombay phenotype). Due to the presence of anti-H in the serum of a person with the Bombay phenotype, only blood from another person with the Bombay phenotype may be transfused. | View Page |

| Dimorphic RBC population Illustrated in the photomicrograph of a peripheral smear are two populations of erythrocytes. Approximately 50% of the erythrocytes are normal size and contain a full complement of hemoglobin. The patient had received blood transfusions. The transfused red blood cells are the normocytic, normochromic red cells. Admixed are microcytic erythrocytes and larger erythrocytes, some faintly mottled or smudged, suggestive of reticulocytes. This picture represents a hemolytic process with a reticulocyte response. A similar dimorphic red cell population appears following erythropoietin therapy. It is important to recognize when a population of cells in the peripheral smear is not in context with anticipated laboratory findings and the clinical situation. | View Page |
