What is normal vs abnormal Blood Smear?

A normal Blood Smear displays the typical appearance and distribution of blood cells, as described earlier. In contrast, an abnormal Blood Smear shows various deviations from the normal findings. These deviations can include changes in cell shape, size, or color, as well as alterations in cell distribution. Abnormal Blood Smears can indicate underlying health conditions, such as infections, anemias, leukemias, platelet disorders, or other blood disorders. Therefore, abnormal Blood Smears require further investigation and analysis to determine the specific cause and appropriate treatment. A hematologist or pathologist is typically involved in interpreting abnormal Blood Smear results.
