Correct identification of inclusions in RBCs, when present, provides useful clinical information. They often help suggest the possible cause of an anemia, and thus further appropriate testing.
 
  The first list provides some red cell inclusions. The second list provides choices for composition.
 
  a. Ferric nonheme iron
  b. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
  c. Precipitated ribonucleic acid (RNA)
  d. Denatured hemoglobin
 
  1. Basophilic stippling
  2. Pappenheimer body
  3. Heinz body
  4. Howell-Jolly body
 
  Match the letter of the correct composition for the inclusion with the number for the inclusion.

Answer to Question 1

1. ANS: C
2. ANS: A
3. ANS: D
4. ANS: B

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Only hemolytic anemias have an appropriately increased RPI. The anemia develops not because production is defective but because survival in circulation is significantly shortened. In iron deficiency anemia, insufficient erythropoiesis occurs. In macrocytic megaloblastic and sideroblastic anemias, erythropoiesis is ineffective.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
