Disorders that affect erythrocytes can lead to decreased hematopoiesis, erythrocyte shape or size abnormalities, or qualitative and quantitative hemoglobin abnormalities. Erythrocyte inclusions are seen in many hematological disorders, both benign and malignant. Some of the most commonly encountered hematological disorders are anemias, which often have vague and frequently overlapping symptoms. Erythrocyte inclusions may be pathological evidence of specific diseases or disorders when interpreted within the context of presenting clinical symptoms and signs. Characterizing and identifying RBC inclusions can provide or support the diagnosis of various clinical conditions. This activity reviews the morphological characteristics, staining patterns, and clinical correlates of the most commonly encountered erythrocyte inclusions.
