The Degree Of Dysplasia in Neutrophils With a Special Note On Pelger- Huët Anomaly.
Keywords:
Pelger-Huët anomaly, pseudo- Pelger-Huët anomaly, dysplastic neutrophils, LeptospirosisAbstract
The Pelger- Huët anomaly (PHA), an autosomal dominant condition ,is characterized by morphologically abnormal neutrophil. This article summarizes the history of PHA , pathogenesis and guidance for differentiating congenital or acquired PHA, with their different morphological variants. We report an interesting case of pseudo-PHA in a 70 year old male diagnosed with Leptospirosis, showing unilobed, unilobed intended, bilobed pelgeroid cells in the peripheral smear.
