The tests that are ordered to search for haemoglobin variants are also used for thalassaemia workups. Searching for both is important because thalassaemia is sometimes inherited along with a haemoglobin variant. [labtestsonline.org.au]

  Nucleated red cells and Howell-Jolly bodies are often present. The total WBC count is elevated to 12,000-20,000/cmm, with a predominance of neutrophils. The platelet count is usually increased; the sedimentation rate is slow. [ndri.com]

  As the spleen becomes compromised with repeated infarctions, Howell-Jolly bodies are also seen. Several factors can lead to crises in sickle cell disease (Table 3). Anything that leads to hypoxia will promote sickling. [wardelab.com]
