re·tic·u·lo·cy·to·sis

(re-tik'yū-lō-sī-tō'sis),
An increase in the number of circulating reticulocytes above the normal, which is less than 1% of the total number of red blood cells; it occurs during active blood regeneration (stimulation of red bone marrow) and in certain anemias, especially congenital hemolytic anemia.

A greater than normal proportion of RETICULOCYTES in the blood. This indicates an increased rate of red cell formation, as during the treatment of ANAEMIA or following HAEMORRHAGE.

On the other hand, lack of reticulocytosis in these animals can be explained by an increase in the total BM apoptosis, confirmed by an increase of apoptotic marker Caspase-3 and a simultaneous decrease of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-[x.sub.L].

Case BIII.1 had mild microcytic anaemia, reticulocytosis, and increased ferritin levels; 17% of stomatocytes were detected at blood smear examination (Table 1 and Figure 2); the molecular testing for HBB gene revealed the presence of the splicing mutation c.93-21G>A at heterozygote level, confirming the beta-thalassemia trait.

Hemoglobinuria (not hematuria), unconjugated bilirubinemia (3.35 mg%), elevated LDH (491 U/L), normal vitamin B12 (439 pg/mL), and normal folic acid (13.24 ng/mL) were noted; therefore, her macrocystosis (MCV: 106.7 fL) was considered to be associated with her marked reticulocytosis.
