| Hypersegmented Neutrophils The focus of these photographed fields is on the occasional large oval macrocyte,and the large, hypersegmented neutrophils representing either vitamin B-12 or folic acid deficiency, or both. The distinct hypochromia of many of the erythrocytes reflects low iron stores. | View Page |

| Hypersegmented Neutrophil A hypersegmented neutrophil showing seven segments is seen in the center of this slide. | View Page |
| Another Example of a Hypersegmented Neutrophil Another example of a hypersegmented neutrophil. This cell has six lobes. Hypersegmented neutrophils are sometimes larger than normal neutrophils. The examples shown in slides 5 and 6 are within the normal -- 12 to 15 microns in diameter. | View Page |

| Hypersegmented neutrophils are classified as reactive. | View Page |
| Conditions Associated with Hypersegmented Neutrophils There are a number of conditions in which hypersegmented neutrophils may be seen, such as megaloblastic anemias that include folic acid deficiency and pernicious anemia. Individuals who are receiving chemotherapy or have long-term chronic infections may also have hypersegmented neutrophils.The cells seen in these conditions would be classified as pathological since the body is responding abnormally as a result of either a deficiency of a component needed for DNA production or because of the toxic effect that chemotherapy drugs have on DNA. | View Page |
| A Normally Segmented Neutrophil A normal segmented neutrophil having five lobes that was present on the same slide as the hypersegmented neutrophils. | View Page |
| The presence in the peripheral blood of an increased number of hypersegmented white blood cells as presented in the photograph serves as a marker for preleukemia. | View Page |
| A most useful follow-up test to consider when faced with hypersegmented neutrophils and oval macrocytes (see photograph) in a peripheral blood smear is: | View Page |
