A 17-year-old male of Asian descent presents with a 2-day history of generalized yellowish skin color, epigastric pain, and fatigue. He had a fever 5 days ago, for which he took 3 tablets of acetaminophen in 1 day and was prescribed a short course of moxifloxacin. A few days after taking these medications, he developed the presenting symptoms. His vitals are blood pressure 130/80 mmHg, heart rate 82 bpm, temperature 99.6°F (37.5°C), and respiratory rate of 24 breaths/min. Physical examination demonstrates yellowish discoloration of the sclera and the skin, along with conjunctival pallor and splenomegaly. His laboratory studies show a hemoglobin level of 6.8 g/dL, a lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level of 1100 IU/liter, and a total bilirubin level of 4.6 mg/dL. To confirm the suspected diagnosis, a methylene blue stain is used on the peripheral blood smear. What is most likely to be seen on the blood smear?
