Abstract

Cytoplasmic vacuolations are sometimes frequently seen in blood cells on peripheral smear but are often ignored. Presence of such vacuolations can be seen in red blood cells (RBCs) and WBCs (neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes). These vacuolations can be true or artefactual. Identifying this a quick, cheap and important way of guiding our diagnosis and treatment.
