Per classification of anemias, the morphology for pernicious anemia or folate-deficiency anemia results in
1. hematocytic–hematochromic erythrocytes.
2. microcytic–hypochromic erythrocytes.
3. macrocytic–normochromic erythrocytes.
4. normocytic–normochromic erythrocytes.
3
Rationale 1: Hematocytic–hematochromic erythrocytes do not classify anemias.
Rationale 2: Microcytic–hypochromic erythrocytes classify iron-deficiency anemia or thalassemia.
Rationale 3: Macrocytic–normochromic erythrocytes classify pernicious and folate-deficiency anemia.
Rationale 4: Normocytic–normochromic erythrocytes classify aplastic, hemorrhagic, sickle-cell, and hemolytic anemia.
Global Rationale: Macrocytic–normochromic erythrocytes classify pernicious and folate-deficiency anemia. Hematocytic–hematochromic erythrocytes do not classify anemias. Microcytic–hypochromic erythrocytes classify iron-deficiency anemia or thalassemia. Normocytic–normochromic erythrocytes classify aplastic, hemorrhagic, sickle-cell, and hemolytic anemia.
