HYPOCHROMIC ANEMIA showing many pale red blood cells with decreased concentration of Hemoglobin - Fotografía de stock

HYPOCHROMIC ANEMIA--many pale red blood cells (erythrocytes) with decreased concentration of Hemoglobin, 640X. The large central pallor of some of the red cells is related to decreased amounts of Hemoglobin which means less oxygen is transported by these cells. These cells are characteristically seen in iron deficiency anemia but may be present in other anemias and even lead poisoning.
