Erythrocytes or red blood cells have a unique thickness, shape, and size. If blood is added to a test tube, the RBCs get deposited at the bottom. The test checks the speed at which the erythrocyte gets deposited, as a higher speed indicates infection. In addition to this, during an infection, the erythrocytes clump together.
