Erythrocyte index can form erythrocyte morphology in the peripheral blood smear preparation. Lead exposure in Tambaklorok exceeds the threshold that affects anemia. The purpose of this study was to determine the erythrocyte index confirmation with erythrocyte morphology in the peripheral blood smear preparation. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2month in Tambaklorok Semarang residents and 104 samples were taken using the purposive technique. Erythrocyte index was measured using the hematological analyzer and erythrocyte morphology in the peripheral blood smear preparation using Giemsa painting. Erythrocyte index confirmation with the peripheral blood smear preparation was analyzed using the Gamma statistical relationship test. The results showed that the erythrocyte index value was mostly in the normal category, i.e., MCH 68 (64.4%), MCHC 61 (58.6%) and MCH 58 (56%) and below normal category were MCH 45 (42.95%), MCHC 41 (39.4%), and MCV 36 (34.3%). Erythrocyte morphology was mostly hypochromic, namely 46 (44.23%), normochrome 40 (38.46%), and hyperchrome 18 (17.3%). Relationship of MCH with erythrocyte color p-value 0.037 with size p-value 0.038. Conclusion of erythrocyte index confirmation, especially MCH with the peripheral blood smear preparation, there was a match on the color and size of erythrocytes, while the MCV and MCHC values had no significant relationship.

Introduction: Leukemias are neoplastic proliferations of haematopoietic stem cells and form a major proportion of haematopoietic neoplasms that are diagnosed worldwide. Typing of leukemia is essential for effective therapy because prognosis and survival rate are different for each type and sub-type Aims: this study was carried out to determine the frequency of acute and chronic leukemias and to evaluate their clinicopathological features. Methods: It was a hospital based cross sectional study of 60 patients carried out in the department of Pathology, JMCH, Assam over a period of one year between February 2018 and January 2019. Diagnosis was based on peripheral blood count, peripheral blood smear and bone marrow examination (as on when available marrow sample) for morphology along with cytochemical study whenever possible. Results: In the present study, commonest leukemia was Acute myeloid leukemia (AML, 50%) followed by Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL 26.6%), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML, 16.7%) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL, 6.7%). Out of total 60 cases, 36 were male and 24 were female with Male:Female ratio of 1.5:1. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia was the most common type of leukemia in the children and adolescents. Acute Myeloid leukemia was more prevalent in adults. Peripheral blood smear and bone Conclusion: marrow aspiration study still remains the important tool along with cytochemistry, immunophenotyping and cytogenetic study in the diagnosis and management of leukemia.
