PathologyMcroscopic picture of red blood cells (RBCs) in thalassemia, the following
characteristics are typically observed:
Microcytic: The RBCs are smaller than normal (microcytic)
due to the reduced hemoglobin content.
Hypochromic: The RBCs have a lower concentration of
hemoglobin, leading to a paler appearance (hypochromic).
Target cells: These are RBCs that have a bullseye
appearance due to an abnormal distribution of hemoglobin within the cell.
Target cells are often seen in thalassemia due to the imbalance of globin
chains and the resultant membrane changes.
