Abstract: Grumach AS and Oliveira ZNP. Polarized light microscopy of hair shafts aids in the differential diagnosis of Chédiak-Higashi and Griscelli-Prunieras syndromes. Clinics. 2006;61(4):327-32. PURPOSE:To study and compare the appearance of hairs from patients with Chédiak-Higashi and Griscelli-Prunieras syndromes under light and polarized light microscopy. METHOD: Hairs from 2 Chédiak-Higashi and 2 Griscelli-Prunieras patients were obtained and examined under normal and polarized light microscopy. RESULTS: Under li… Show more

“…Immune dysregulation leads to recurrent infections and the fatal complication of hemophagocytic syndrome that is characterized by fever, pancytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, and lymphohistiocytic infiltration of various organs. [2,4] Griscelli syndrome was first described in 1978 by Griscelli and Prunerias. [1] Three genetic forms of GS are known.…”

“…GS3 has a good prognosis, and no treatment is required. [4,7] Elejalde disease has recently been considered to be the same as GS Type 1. [2,4,7] In addition to hypopigmentation and silvery hair, there is early onset profound neurological dysfunction.…”

“…Absence of inclusions in granulocytes on peripheral blood examination and hair microscopy findings confirmed the diagnosis of GS and ruled out Chediak Higashi syndrome (8). Consistent with symptoms described in subtype 2, this child also shared features like fever, pallor, jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, and fulfilled five criteria of HLH -fever, pancytopenia, splenomegaly, raised ferritin (1,053 ng/mL) and hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides-311 mg/dL) / hypofibrinogenemia (108 mg/dL).…”
