Abstract

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. DOI: 10.21276/APALM.2017.990
