Significance of Charcot Leyden crystals in hepatic aspirates
Charcot Leyden crystals are hexagonal bipyramidal structures localised in the primary granules of the cytoplasm of eosinophils and basophils. Their presence, along with eosinophilic infiltrate, is an indirect evidence of parasitic infestation particularly with <i>Toxocara</i>, <i>C...

| description | Charcot Leyden crystals are hexagonal bipyramidal structures localised in the primary granules of the cytoplasm of eosinophils and basophils. Their presence, along with eosinophilic infiltrate, is an indirect evidence of parasitic infestation particularly with <i>Toxocara</i>, <i>Capilliriasis</i>, <i>Ascariasis</i>, or <i>Fasciola</i>. We report here two cases where Charcot Leyden crystals with eosinophilic infiltrate were found in the smears prepared from hepatic abscess. |
