How common are non-hereditary forms?

I created this to get rid of the redlink from hereditary spherocytosis, but, on preliminary search for non-hereditary forms, it seems rather a zebra -- there are a few clinical reports of secondary spherocytosis. Any source recommendations? I'm going to go check my internal medicine textbooks, but I don't have a hematology text here. --Howard C. Berkowitz 14:56, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
