"Bite cell" hemolytic anemia is a variant of drug-related hemolysis usually associated with methemoglobinemia and Heinz body inclusions in red blood cells secondary to oxidant drug injury. Bite cells are morphologically characterized as poikilocytes with one or more semicircular portions removed from the cell margin. The purpose of this report is to emphasize the importance of peripheral smear examination in patients with possible drug-associated hemolytic anemia. The morphologic characteristics of bite cells by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy are detailed in this study, and the pathophysiologic mechanism is discussed.
