Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Abnormalities in red cell membrane skeletal proteins are present in hereditary spherocytosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The reticulocyte count is elevated in all hemolytic anemias at the time of hemolysis (unless an aplastic crisis is present). Of the other procedures listed only flow cytometry is sensitive enough to be useful for the diagnosis of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. The sucrose hemolysis and Ham tests have been replaced by flow cytometry.
