Figure 1

Macrophages containing granulocyte nuclear debris. Macrophages containing granulocyte nuclear debris can be seen dispersed throughout marrow biopsies in H&E stained sections ((a) H&E 40x objective magnification, (b) H&E 100x oil objective magnification) and aspirate marrow smears ((c) Wright-Giemsa 100x oil). Immunohistochemical staining for myeloperoxidase highlights the phagocytosed cells ((d) 100x oil). H&E: Hematoxylin and Eosin.
