How are Target Cells Different from Other Abnormal Red Blood Cells?
Target cells are distinct from other abnormal red blood cells like spherocytes, elliptocytes, or schistocytes due to their unique bullseye appearance. Unlike spherocytes, which are spherical and lack central pallor, target cells have a characteristic central spot. Elliptocytes are elongated, and schistocytes are fragmented, both differing significantly from the morphology of target cells.
