Abstract
Higashi published “Congenital Gigantism of Peroxidase Granules” in Sept. 1953, in which I was very much interested, because I had not seen any case of such an abnormity during my own 30 years' experience with the peroxidase reaction.
Then I happened to read an article published in 1952 by Chédiak: Nouvelle anomalie leucocytaire de caractère constitutionnel et familial.
On perusal, I came to consider both diseases as two different manifestations of one and the same clinical entity, though there was no description of peroxidase or oxidase raaction in Chédiak's paper. So I desire to suggest for this new clinical entity the name: Chédiak and Higashi's Disease or Chédiak-Higashi's Leuco-anomaly.
