Abstract

The Pelger-Hüet anomaly was described firstly in 1928 by the Holland physician Pelger and its genetic origin was discovered later by the pediatrician Hüet. It is transmitted with a dominant autosomal character and it is a mutation of the gene codifying the plate B receptor. Beginning from this mutation, the alteration of white cells core took place, mainly in neutrophils, with affectations of the nuclear segmentation and chromatin disturbances. We present a patient entering our hospital as a cause of an animal bite, and there were discovered hypolobulated neutrophils in the periferal plate. The familiar character was confirmed with the finding of this alteration in the patient's mother.
