Hemolytic conditions with spherocytosis: Case Study ThreeA 49-year-old male with pneumonia was treated with high-dose intravenous penicillin. He became jaundiced with yellow sclera. The image on the right is typical of other fields that were observed on his peripheral blood smear.Since penicillin may, in some individuals, cause autoimmune hemolytic anemia, the clinician requested a direct antiglob
