Chédiak–Higashi Syndrome in Peripheral Blood Smear

A clinical case of Chédiak–Higashi syndrome in a child: giant granules in the cytoplasm of granulocytes and mononuclear cells in a peripheral blood smear.

Chédiak–Higashi syndrome in a 5-year-old child, observed at the Institute of Immunology, Moscow, at the time. The smear is of terrible quality, but it is over 20 years old, made on an old, thick, scratched glass. It is kept as “the apple of my eye”😁
