Erythrocyte - polychromatophilic

Polychromatophilia may be defined as increased numbers of immature peripheral red blood cells that have a blue-gray tint on Wright-stained smears, indicating the presence of cytoplasmic RNA. These cells are usually larger than normal. Many of these cells prove to be reticulocytes when stained with supravital stains such as brilliant cresyl blue. They appear under conditions of accelerated red cell production.
