Neutrophils and inflammation: unraveling a new connection
In Visceral leishmaniasis marrow shows several changes which includes presence of LD bodies decreased myeloid-erythroid ratio indicating relative suppression of myelopoiesis, increased number of plasma cells, presence of giant metamyelocytes indicating suppression of cell division, presence of juvenile megakaryocytes signifying increased formation of platelets to meet demand caused by increased destruction in hyperactive spleen, presence of micronormoblasts in aggregates indicating splenic hyperactivity and crenated LD bodies with deformed cell membranes in cases of treated kala-azar.11 The cases diagnosed with visceral Leishmaniasis in this study depicted some of the changes like plasma cell prominence and increased number of macrophages.
