A 23-year-old female presented with jaundice and pallor for 2 months. Her peripheral blood smear shows the presence of spherocytes. The most relevant investigation to arrive at a diagnosis is -
1) Reticulocyte count
2) Osmotic fragility test
3) Coombs test
4) Tests for PNH
General Pathology
Answer: 3
The osmotic fragility test is the most relevant investigation for diagnosing hereditary spherocytosis, as it assesses the red blood cells' ability to withstand osmotic stress.

Sickle cell trait patient do not have manifestations as that of Sickle cell disease, because-
1) 50% HbS is required for occurrence of sickling
2) HbA prevents sickling
3) 50% sickles
4) HbA prevents polymerization of Hbs
General Pathology
Answer: 2
HbA prevents sickling in sickle cell trait patients because the presence of normal hemoglobin (HbA) reduces the proportion of HbS, preventing polymerization.

3. Convexity of the embossed dot
4. Curvature of the arch
Oral Pathology
Answer: 3
The facial aspect of an intraoral film is determined by the convexity of the embossed dot.
Osmotic fragility is increased in -
1) Sickle cell anaemia
2) Thalassemia
3) Hereditary spherocytosis
4) Chronic lead poisoning
General Pathology
Answer: 3
Osmotic fragility is increased in hereditary spherocytosis due to the abnormal shape and membrane stability of red blood cells.
