Homework Answers
The correct option is option a
- Hemoglobin electrophoresis would detect Hemoglobin C
The findings which will help us to reach the answer are
- Joint pain
- Splenomegaly
- Mild anaemia
- Target cells,Erythrocytes folding and intra erythrocytes crystals in peripheral smear.
Now let's look briefly about Hemoglobin C disease.
Hemoglobin C disease is an inherited condition affecting the protein Hemoglobin in the blood which transports oxygen throughout the body.
Pathophysiology
Hemoglobin C is a structural variant of normal Hemoglobin caused by an amino acid substitution of lysine for glutamic acid at position 6 of the beta hemoglobin chain.
Symptoms
Most people with hemoglobin C disease don't have any symptoms and can live normal lives but they will have a low blood count or Anemia.
If symptoms develop, they may include
- Reduced blood cell count during infection or illness
- Enlarged spleen
- Episodes of joint pain
Diagnosis
- A peripheral smear of blood will show target cells, erythrocytes folding and intra erythrocytes crystals as seen in the picture given in the question.
- A Hemoglobin electrophoresis would detect Hemoglobin C
Treatment
Although Hemoglobin C disease is a chronic condition it doesn't require any treatment usually. Symptomatic management is to be given accordingly.

CASE STUDY 4 History 37 year old male. Lifelong history of a seizure disorder, treated since age two. At a routine check with his neurologist, he complained of fatigue, exertional dyspnea, and lightheadedness over the past 2-3 months. He appeared pale, but otherwise his physical exam was within normal limits. He was found to have a decreased hemoglobin, and was referred to Hematology Clinic CBC (with microscopic differential) RBC HGB НСТ MCV MCH MCHC...

Case Study : A 70-yr-old male, who had been getting progressively more tired and lethargic the past few months, sought medical advice. The patient appeared thin with noticeable pallor of the nail beds and mucus membranes. A CBC revealed his hemoglobin to be 9.1 g/dL and his hematocrit was 30.0%. He was placed on iron supplementation and told to return for follow-up blood work in six weeks. Six weeks later his hematocrit had dropped to 25.7% (see CBC below). CBC...
