Alder-Reilly anomaly
Also known as:
Alder's anomaly
Alder's syndrome
Reilly's granulation anomaly
Reilly's anomaly
Associated persons:
Albert von Alder
William Anthony Reilly
Description:
Inheritable anomaly with disturbance of the polysaccharid metabolism; with larger than usual azurophile cytoplasmatic granula in the neutrophile leucocytes. Neutrophile granulocytes, or also monocytes and lymphocytes containg conspicuous, dark or redish coloured granula. The appearance resembles “toxic granulation” seen in sepsis etx. It is often associated with gargoylism and disturbance of skeletal growth, and particularly with the mucopolysaccharidoses, e.g. Hunter, Hurler, Maroteaux-Lamy syndromes. Inheritance is autosomal recessivet.
