Are mushroom-shaped erythrocytes an indicator of COVID-19? GLO:1XW/15jan21:bjh17127-fig-0001.jpg PHOTO (COLOR): . gl Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many reports have documented the haematological impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection focusing on leucocytes and platelets. Following the observation of intriguing red blood cell morphology in a patient with COVID-19, we systematically reviewed the blood films of 49 additional patients in order to seek potential "suggestive" erythrocyte alterations in a cohort of 50 individuals.
