Study Notes
RBC Inclusion Bodies
- Basophilic Stippling
- Dark blue to purple granules evenly distributed in the RBC.
- Also known as Punctate Basophilia.
- Siderotic Granules
- Multiple dark blue irregular granules.
- Stain with Prussian blue iron staining.
- Pale blue clusters are visible with Wright staining.
- Also known as Pappenheimer Bodies.
- Howell-Jolly Bodies
- Usually appear singly in a cell (only one per cell).
- Often round.
RBC Inclusion Bodies

- Also known as punctate basophilia.
- Siderotic granules: Irregular granules within the red blood cell.
- Also known as Pappenheimer bodies.
- Appear as dark blue granules with Prussian blue iron staining.
- Appear as pale blue clusters with Wright staining.
- Howell-Jolly bodies: Round, single inclusions within the red blood cell.
- Typically only one Howell-Jolly body per cell.
