Abstract

Platelets phagocytosed by neutrophils is a rare morphological finding on peripheral blood films. It is rarely an EDTA-dependent artifact but mainly caused by an active vascular inflammation process. Here is reported an unexpected observation of neutrophilic thrombophagocytosis, in the context of a disseminated Streptococcus pneumoniae infection.
