Analysis of Hereditary Elliptocytosis with Decreased Binding of Eosin-5-maleimide to Red Blood Cells

Figure 3

Association between the presence/absence of decreased EMA binding and elliptocyte development in HE patients. (a) Association between the presence/absence of decreased EMA binding and the percentage of rod-shaped type in HE patients. The percentage of rod-shaped type in 4 HE patients with decreased EMA binding = %. The percentage of rod-shaped type in 8 HE patients without decreased EMA binding = %. Rod-shaped type: RBC long diameter/short diameter ≥2. (b) Association between the presence/absence of decreased EMA binding and the percentage of ovalocytic type in HE patients. The percentage of the ovalocytic type in 4 HE patients with decreased EMA binding = %. The percentage of the ovalocytic type in 8 HE patients without decreased EMA binding = %. Ovalocytic type: RBC long diameter/short diameter <2.
