Ovalocitosis de tipo hereditario
Los bebés recién nacidos con ovalocitosis pueden padecer anemia e ictericia. Los adultos generalmente no muestran sÃntomas y se conocen como asintomáticos.
Una evaluación por parte del médico ocasionalmente puede mostrar un agrandamiento del bazo.
Esta afección se diagnostica examinando la forma de las células sanguÃneas bajo el microscopio. Igualmente, se pueden llevar a cabo los siguientes exámenes:
