Preferred Label : chediak-higashi syndrome;
MeSH definition : A form of phagocyte bactericidal dysfunction characterized by unusual oculocutaneous
albinism, high incidence of lymphoreticular neoplasms, and recurrent pyogenic infections.
In many cell types, abnormal lysosomes are present leading to defective pigment distribution
and abnormal neutrophil functions. The disease is transmitted by autosomal recessive
inheritance and a similar disorder occurs in the beige mouse, the Aleutian mink, and
albino Hereford cattle.;
