Bacteremia can travel through the blood stream to distant sites in the body and cause infection (hematogenous spread). Hematogenous spread of bacteria is part of the pathophysiology of certain infections of the heart ( endocarditis ), structures around the brain ( meningitis ), and tuberculosis of the spine ( Pott's disease ).
Defects of red blood cell membrane production (as in hereditary spherocytosis and hereditary elliptocytosis). [2] Defects in hemoglobin production (as in thalassemia, sickle-cell disease and congenital dyserythropoietic anemia). [2] Defective red cell metabolism (as in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and pyruvate kinase deficiency ...

Red blood cell breakdown (also known as hemolysis) in G6PD deficiency can manifest in a number of ways, including the following: [citation needed] Prolonged neonatal jaundice, possibly leading to kernicterus (arguably the most serious complication of G6PD deficiency) Hemolytic crises in response to: Illness (especially infections)
Spur cell hemolytic anemia is a form of hemolytic anemia that results when free cholesterol binds to the red blood cell's membrane increasing its surface area, causing later deformities such as rough or thorny projections on the erythrocyte named acanthocytes. This condition is caused by the deceased liver's decreased ability to esterificate ...
Other blood group incompatibility (RhC, Rhe, Kid, Duffy, MN, P and others) Drug induced immune mediated hemolytic anemia Penicillin (high dose) Methyldopa; Hemoglobinopathies (where these is an unstable or crystalline hemoglobin) Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (rare acquired clonal disorder of red blood cell surface proteins)
A red blood cell in a hypotonic solution, causing water to move into the cell A red blood cell in a hypertonic solution, causing water to move out of the cell. Hemolysis or haemolysis (/ h iː ˈ m ɒ l ɪ s ɪ s /), [1] also known by several other names, is the rupturing of red blood cells (erythrocytes) and the release of their contents into surrounding fluid (e.g. blood plasma).
Red blood cells (RBCs), referred to as erythrocytes (from Ancient Greek erythros 'red' and kytos 'hollow vessel', with -cyte translated as 'cell' in modern usage) in academia and medical publishing, also known as red cells, [1] erythroid cells, and rarely haematids, are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate's principal means of delivering oxygen (O 2) to the body tissues—via ...
