The Presence and Percentage of Circulating Nucleated Red Blood Cells Reveal Distinct Characteristics in Adults With Sickle Cell Disease

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although circulating nucleated red blood cells (cNRBCs) have previously been detected in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), their prevalence and clinical significance during steady‐state disease have not been established. We retrospectively analyzed 270 adults with an SS or Sβ0‐thalassemia genotype.

Splenic Tropism and Spleen‐Modulated Systemic Inflammation in Acute Plasmodium vivax Malaria

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In chronic Plasmodium vivax (Pv) infection, the spleen accounts for over 98% of total‐body parasite biomass. Whether splenic tropism also occurs in acute infection and how the spleen influences pathogenesis have not been systematically explored. In Papua, Indonesia, we compared clinical and hematology data in 24 spleen‐intact and 25 previously
