Dohle bodies are remnants of rough endoplasmic reticulum left over in the cytoplasm of the neutrophil. They are seen most often in bacterial infection and may be accompanied by a left shift with toxic granulation or vacuolization.
Dohle Body Appearance
Dohle bodies appear as one or more blue/gray inclusions in the cytoplasm of neutrophils, usually along the periphery.
Lookalikes
Critical green inclusions can be misidentified, especially as they are not seen very often. They are bright green in color instead of pale blue, however.
