Abstract

Objective: To improve the recognition of Fechtner syndrome.

Methods: The clinical and laboratory data and family survey of a patient with Fechtner's syndrom was reported.

Results and conclusion: Giant platelets, thrombocytopenia and characteristic granulocyte inclusion bodies (Döhle-like bodies) were found in both peripheral blood and bone marrow smears of the patient.
