A.1.inclusion bodies are nuclear or cytoplasmic aggregates of
     stainable substances, usually proteins.


A.2. Normally a red blood cell does not contain inclusions in the
       cytoplasm. However, it may be seen because of certain
       hematologic disorders.

There are three kinds of erythrocyte inclusions:

 1.Developmental Organelles:
 
      A-Howell-Jolly bodies.
      B-Basophilic stipplings.
      C-Pappenheimer bodies.
      D-Polychromatophilic red cells.
      E-Cabot Rings.

2.Abnormal Hemoglobin Precipitation:

      A-Heinz bodies.
      B-Hemoglobin H Inclusions.
 
3.Protozoan Inclusion:
 
      A-Malaria.
      B-Babesia.
