Download Pelger Huet Anomaly - Cal State LA

Septicemia
Severe Left Shift
Toxic granulation is found in severe inflammatory
states. The toxic granules are azurophilic, usually
found in the promyelocyte, metamyelocyte, band, and
segmented stages. The toxic granulation is thought to
be due to impaired cytoplasmic maturation,in the effort
to rapidly generate large numbers of granulocytes.
Toxic Granulation
L Dohle bodies are single or multiple blue cytoplasmic inclusions. They
represent remnants of rough endoplasmic reticulum from earlier maturational
stages. They are associated with myeloid "left shifts" and are seen in
conjunction with toxic granulation.

Reactive or Atypical Lymphs
Lymphocytosis
The Alder-Reilly anomaly is associated with the genetic mucopolysaccharidoses. Patients with mucopolysaccharidoses lack the lysozymal
enzymes necessary to break down mucopolysaccharides. Dense azurophilic
granules, resembling toxic granulation in neutrophils, are seen in all leukocytes.
Most characteristic of these disorders are the metachromatic granules
surrounded by a clear zone seen in lymphocytes.
Alder Reilly Syndrome
May Hegglin Anomaly
The Chediak-Higashi syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive condition
associated with abnormally large leukocyte granules resulting from fusion of
lysozymes. This disorder may affect granulocytes, leukocytes, and monocytes.
Chemotaxis and phagocytosis is defective. Platelets lack dense granules and
platelet function is abnormal. Giant melanosomes in occular and skin tissues
result in hypopigmentation.
