Abstract
DÖHLE bodies, which occur as blue-staining inclusions in neutrophils on Romanowsky-stained preparations, have been described as an acquired anomaly in various conditions in man1–5. They have also been reported as a familial anomaly associated with platelet abnormalities in 4 families so far6 and are then denoted by the eponym, May–Hegglin syndrome. They have not been reported in experimental animals.
