Peripheral blood picture of Southeast Asian ovalocytosis (SAO). Blue arrows indicate stomatocytes; green arrows indicate macro-ovalocytes (Southeast Asian ovalocytes). These rigid, oval erythrocytes are caused by a mutation in band 3 protein (SLC4A1) and are larger and more oval than typical elliptocytes. (human (peripheral blood, Southeast Asian ovalocytosis with distal renal tubular acidosis); Figure 5.)

Peripheral blood smear images showing red blood cell morphological anomalies in COVID-19 patients. Panel E shows anisopoikilocytosis, ovalocytes, schistocytes, and targetoid cells. Ovalocytes are oval-shaped (mildly elongated) red blood cells. (human (peripheral blood, COVID-19 patients); Figure 4, E.)
