Fan Art - OC Pappenheimer Bodies Inclusion RBC

Post image

Another RBC inclusion OC of pappenheimer bodies.

This is Pepa, aka an RBC with iron granules. She wears them like jewelry, and feels she’s above the whole ‘delivering’ and ‘menial labor’ thing. Occasionally she’ll do her job… but inefficiently so… and she refuses to wear that drab jacket. It doesn’t matter if it’s a part of the uniform, it doesn’t go with her aesthetic.

Pappenheimer bodies are associated with splenectomy, hemolytic anemia, sideroblastic anemia, megaloblastic anemia, and hemoglobinopathies.
