Today I
learned about Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome; from
my perspective this case is interesting as there are platelet storage pool
defects.
In the
discussion in the workplace it was suggested we should be very careful not to
confuse it with Chediak-Higashi syndrome. I’m
not sure where the confusion would arise – Chediak Higashi syndrome has a problem
with neutrophils.
But both are
rather obscure conditions. I’ve never encountered either, so brushing up on
both was a constructive use of a few minutes.
