The paper presents some results concerning application of the fractal approach to analysis of shape of blood cells. Using the software by Kindratenko [4] the fractal dimension and other simple geometrical parameters of normal and pathological blood cells have been calculated. The investigation aproved that the fractal dimension and the perimeter of abnormal blood cells differ significantly from normal ones.
