spherocyte

spherocyte /sphe·ro·cyte/ (sfēr´o-sīt) a small, globular, completely hemoglobinated erythrocyte without the usual central pallor characteristically found in hereditary spherocytosis but also in acquired hemolytic anemia.spherocyt´ic

spher·o·cyte (sfîr

-s

, sf

A small spherical red blood cell, characteristic of hereditary spherocytosis and of certain hemolytic anemias.

sphero·cytic (-s

k) adj.

spherocyte

[sfir′əsīt]

Etymology: Gk, sphaira, sphere, kytos, cell

an abnormal spheric red blood cell that contains more than the normal amount of hemoglobin. Spherocytes can be identified under the microscope on stained blood specimens. Osmotic fragility of the red blood cells increases in the presence of increased numbers of spherocytes. spherocytic, adj.

a small, globular, completely hemoglobinated erythrocyte without the usual central pallor, found in hereditary spherocytosis and acquired hemolytic anemia. adj., adj spherocyt´ic.

spherocyte

a small, globular, completely hemoglobinated erythrocyte without the usual central pallor; characteristically found in some types of acquired hemolytic anemia, particularly immune-mediated.
