Pelger-Huet (P-H) anomaly is a benign congenital anomaly of leukocytes, characterized by nuclear
hyposegmentation of granulocytes. Patients with heterozygous form of P-H anomaly are not immunodeficient
and not predisposed to infection. In this study, P-H anomaly has been detected during a routine blood
examination conducted on a clinically normal five years old male Basenji dog. Nuclear hyposegmentation of
neutrophils with mature coarse chromatin pattern was noticed. As the animal was in a good health and all other
blood parameters were within normal reference range, P-H anomaly was suspected. Acquired, pseudo P-H
anomaly was excluded by detecting the same unique nuclear pattern in three successive blood samples collected
at month intervals. Nuclear morphology was variable as dumbbell shaped, peanut shaped, band, round or
bilobed forms were mostly detected in the neutrophils. It is the first report for this anomaly in Libya.
