The Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a rare hereditary fatal disease, if not treated. These changes are associated with various diseases and syndromes that mainly cause periodontal disease and thus the premature loss of teeth. This paper describes the monitoring of premature loss of primary teeth that began when the child was 5 years old. On presentation his teeth were mobile and there was a h...

By JAMES C. WHITE A RARE FAMILIAL DISORDER characterized cytologically by enormous particles in all varieties of leukocytes has been reported from various parts of the world and is known in this country as the Chediak-Higashi (C.H.) syndrome.1-4 The variable clinical manifestations of patients with this disease have included defective pigmentation, neuropathies, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomeg...

Granulocyte function was evaluated using activity of S. aureus and group D strepperitoneal exudate granulocytes from a tococcus by CHS cells through 90 mm of instrain of beige mice with the Chediak-Hicubation. The bactericidal defect was most gashi syndrome (CHS). Defective granupronounced at early time periods and was locyte chemotaxi of CHS cells (43% related to impaired intracellular killing...

We present a 3-year-old female born of a consanguineous marriage with the complaints of high-grade fever, petechial spots, abdominal distension, and lymphadenopathy for 20 days. She had pallor, hypopigmented hairs, petechial rashes, and palpable lymph nodes (up to 1 cm) in the bilateral inguinal and cervical region. Systemic examination revealed hepatosplenomegaly. Her hematological profile was...

Beige mice express the Chediak-Higashi syndrome. Large inclusions, identified as abnormal lysosomes, are found in many cells. The inclusions in type II alveolar epithelial cells are enlarged lamellar bodies and they are associated with an increase in total lung surface-active material and phospholipid. Comparison of recovery of phospholipid in surface-active materials from beige and black (norm...
