In brightfield: Red blood cells displaying an off-centre white spot. May be observed on single RBCs or on RBCs in rouleau stacks. Ensure that the membrane of the cell is intact. Keratocytes may look similar, but their membranes are not intact and it looks like a bite has been taken out of the RBC. It is clear that the white spot is in fact on top of the RBC (and not a part of the cell) when the fine focus is adjusted. RBC fermentation is usually not visible in darkfield. In advanced cases it may be visible as white spots on RBCs.

Medical Perspective
Conventional medicine only recognizes localized Candida infections, such as oral and vaginal thrush, Candida of the nail (onychomycosis) and skin. The condition commonly referred to as “Candida” by alternative medicine, which is seen as a subclinical infection based on an overgrowth of Candida in the gastrointestinal tract, is not recognized by conventional medicine.
Relevance
- This is considered a significant finding when seen during analysis.
Implications
- These white spots are associated with increased fermentation in the blood and are most often seen in association with Candida albicans overgrowth and/or blood sugar imbalance.
- Intestinal dysbiosis
- Blood sugar imbalance
- Excessive intake of sugar and high-GI/GL foods.
Associated Symptoms
- Fatigue
- Sugar Craving
- Blood sugar imbalance
- Bloating, Flatulence
- Irregular Bowel Movements
- Susceptibility to infections
- History of antibiotic, cortisone or oral contraceptive use
- Recurrent Thrush
- Rectal itching
- Itching of ears
- Fungal infections of the skin and/or nails
- Allergies
- Pleomorphic Perspective:
- These yeast spheres or fungal balls are thecits, mychits and colloid thecits and are the most primitive bacterial phase microorganisms.
