Charcot-Leyden crystals. Newborn stool, x400 magnification + zoom. Formed when galectin-10 protein is released from eosinophils. The detection of Charcot-Leyden crystals in the stool of newborns may indicate gluten-induced enteropathy (celiac disease). Charcot-Leyden crystals can also be found in cases of intestinal localization of Loeffler’s syndrome (formation of eosinophilic infiltrates).

🔬 Native sputum smear, 100x magnification; 40x; + phone camera magnification. Charcot-Leyden crystals. They appear as shiny, smooth, colorless rhomboids of various sizes, sometimes with blunt ends. Their formation is associated with the breakdown of eosinophils. The presence of these crystals in sputum is characteristic of bronchial asthma, eosinophilic bronchitis, helminthic lung lesions, and less commonly, croupous pneumonia and various forms of bronchitis.
