Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!
Well, here is the explanation of your blood smear:
1. predominantly hypochromic and anisocytic erythrocyte with some irregular forms of target cells: possibly iorn deficiency anemia
2. leukocytes appear slightly in number with predominance of segmented neutrophills: mild infection and evidence of folic acid deficiency/megaloblastic changes
3. However there are some atypical lymphocytes seen, no blast cell and other immature forms noted: changes of viral infection or reaction to some recent medication noted; no cancer cell!
4. platelet occurs singly and others in clumps and they appear sufficient number and are morphologically unremarkable: platelets are normal!
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
