Obstetrical admissions to the intensive care unit after anesthesia survey at King Hussein medical center

Abstract EN

The Pelger-Huet anomaly is a benign hereditary autosomal condition that involves failure of normal segmentation of granulocytic nuclei.

Most nuclei are band-shaped or have two nuclei. Here is a report of a 29-year-old single Jordanian female with Pelger-Huet anomaly.

Her peripheral blood smear showed extreme hypolobulation of granulocytes with presence of giant platelets.

The same patient was found to have B-thalassemia intermedia.

Both parents were also found to have the Pelger-Huet anomaly.
