All are true about neutrophil in peripheral smear examination, EXCEPT:
Neutrophils can provide clues to a variety of conditions. Vacuolated neutrophils may be a sign of bacterial sepsis. The presence of 1- to 2-mm blue cytoplasmic inclusions, called Dohle bodies, can reflect infections, burns, or other inflammatory states. If the neutrophil granules are larger than normal and stain a darker blue, "toxic granulations" are said to be present, and they also suggest a systemic inflammation. The presence of neutrophils with more than five nuclear lobes suggests megaloblastic anemia. Large misshapen granules may reflect the inherited Chediak-Higashi syndrome.
