The description is not clear. The cells mentioned must be referring to red blood cells. They are clumping, rather than spinning. Blood cells should move independently from each other, and should not clump together, which can cause them to spin and not move in a flowing manner. see the diagram below. Notice some of the patients blood cells are sticking closely together, it is causing interruption to the flow, the clumps of cells are spinning rather than flowing. The Individual cells don’t spin. They are healthy cells. Unhealthy cells stick to each other, and their odd shape causes them to spin within the circulatory system.
This could be a type of hemolytic anemia. A transient cold agglutinin hemolytic anemia may occur with an infection (eg, mycoplasma). Commonly, patients with cold agglutinin hemolytic anemia have no underlying disease (idiopathic cold agglutinin hemolytic anemia), but some of them evolve later to develop a lymphoproliferative disorder.
All clumping points to some form of cellular infection, suggested to be mycoplasma related
