Normoblastemia after thermal injury.
The peripheral blood smears of 214 thermally injured patients studied during a thirty month period revealed a 20% incidence of normoblastemia (51 patients). Nucleated red blood cells were most common in patients with the largest burns. The absolute number of normoblasts was not related to the hematocrit and was not correlated with other determinants of erythropoietic function.
