What are you likely to find on peripheral blood smear?
Given the clinical presentation of acute onset generalized severe pain after physical activity, along with a hematocrit of 20 percent and reticulocytosis, the likely diagnosis is exercise induced hemolysis.
In this case, you are likely to find Burr cells on the peripheral blood smear. Burr cells, also known as echinocytes, are spiky or crenated red blood cells that may result from changes in cell membrane composition due to hemolysis.
Thus, the correct answer is Burr cells.
