55 year-old patient with severe COVID-19 admitted to the ICU. Blood film showing stomatosis after COVID-19 infection with liver injury (AST – 149 U/L, ALT- 147 U/L). Stomatocytosis is a rare condition of erythrocytes, in which a mouth-shaped or cleft pattern replaces the normal pallor of the central area, which is congenital pra acquired. Acquired stomatocytosis with hemolytic anemia occurs primarily with recent excessive alcohol intake. Stomatocytes in the peripheral smear and hemolysis disappeared within about 2 weeks of alcohol withdrawal. Leishman, 1000X.TO
