Quantitative Anisocytosis as a Discriminant Between Iron Deficiency and Thalassemia Minor

The coefficient of variation (CV) of red cell size, as measured by electronic red cell sizing (erythrography), was less than 14.0% in 20 normal subjects. In 22 of 25 patients with β-thalassemia minor and microcytosis (mean corpuscular volume [MCV]
