Pelguera-Huet Anomaly

Pelger-Huette anomaly is a congenital abnormality of red blood cell development in which a person’s blood contains an increased number of abnormal cells.

The first to describe this anomaly was the Dutch doctor Karl Pelger in 1879. He noticed that one of his patients had a large number of round red blood cells in his blood. In 1908, Howard Hewett, another Dutch doctor, continued his research into the anomaly and concluded that it could be caused by genetic factors.

Pelger-Huett anomaly occurs in 1% of the population and can be associated with various diseases, such as sickle cell anemia, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and others. It can lead to the development of anemia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia.

Various methods are used to diagnose Pelger–Hewett anomaly, including blood tests and bone marrow biopsies. Treatment may include blood transfusions or medications that help improve red blood cell function.

It is important to note that Pelger-Hewett anomaly is not a fatal disease, but it can cause serious complications, so it is necessary to monitor your health and undergo regular medical examinations.

Pelger-Gyut Anomaly

Pelger-Huet anemia anomaly is a disorder of the blood and hematopoietic system, resulting in problems with the formation of a sufficient number of healthy red and white blood cells. The first to describe this anomaly was Karl Peter Pelger, a German hematologist,
