What does Polychromatic with bile cells red cell changes mean?
Patient: Hi, A 5 Y/O MALE with fever and pallor. WCC of over 300x10/L, both LOW HB AND PLTs. Numerous Smudge cells are seen and with about 50% Blasts cells. It is Polychromatic with bite cells red cell changes. What would this presentation be suggestive of? Thank you. Doctor: Hi...this is suggestive of leukaemia or in common terms blood cancer. But you need not be disheartened. Now a days with scientific developments, treatment is possible and there are many kids who have conquered cancer.Regards - Dr. Sumanth
