Zehraan Ibni Akbar: Peripheral Blood Smear – A Window into Hematological Diagnosis
Zehraan Ibni Akbar, Laboratory Technician at Biomedicare Clinical Laboratory, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Peripheral Blood Smear (PBS) — A Window to the Blood
A peripheral blood smear is more than a microscopic slide—it is a powerful window into blood cell morphology, hematological health, and disease patterns.
From smear preparation and Leishman staining to identifying RBCs, WBCs, platelets, differential counts, and abnormal findings, every cell can provide valuable diagnostic clues.
Key areas covered:
- Smear collection & preparation
- Leishman staining
- Normal blood cell morphology
- WBC differential count
- Platelet identification
- Abnormal findings in anemia, infections, leukemia, malaria, thalassemia & megaloblastic anemia
- Clinical significance and systematic examination
Learning hematology, one cell at a time.
Because sometimes, a small smear can reveal a much bigger story.”
