Examples

• The laboratory report noted increased basophilias in the patient's blood smear.
• Basophilias can indicate certain hematologic disorders or allergic conditions.
• The pathologist observed basophilias in the tissue samples under the microscope.
• Elevated basophilias may suggest a myeloproliferative disorder.
• The staining protocol was designed to highlight basophilias in the cellular structures.
