2. Stomatocytes are basically erythrocytes which is a red blood cells and appears like a "coffee beans" the similarity between stomatocytes and codocytes is their structure which is a bull's eye. Because of the abnormality in their structure the hemoglobin production is reduced and fragility of the cell membrane is increased, ultimately causing early haemolysis which happens in Thalassemia. This is usually hereditary and may cause death in infants and children in severe cases.
