Abstract
Chediak Higachi Syndrome (CHS) is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder which presents with
repeated bacterial infections, albinism, progressive peripheral neuropathy, cranial nerve abnormalities and
patients have characteristic silvery grey hair and giant bluish grey granules in cytoplasm of white blood cells.
Late stages presents with accelerated phase of this disease which is characterized by lymphohistiocytic infiltration
