Toxic vacuolation
A neutrophil displaying toxic vacuolation
- ... that toxic vacuolation (pictured), the presence of vacuoles inside certain types of white blood cells, can be a sign of sepsis? Source: Bain, 2016: "In blood films spread without delay, the presence of vacuoles in the neutrophils is usually indicative of severe sepsis, when toxic granulation is usually also present." [1]
- Reviewed: This is my 2nd nomination, so I haven't reviewed any others yet.

...I really enjoyed this easily explained article...thank you. Are you sure the image is toxic and not pseudo... they look like uniform multiple vacuoles but you know better. Whispyhistory (talk) 20:34, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
- Whispyhistory I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed my article! I was worried that it was a bit inaccessible. I took that picture myself, and it was from a very ill patient with toxic changes in their other neutrophils... but you're right that the picture doesn't demonstrate that, and it's also a bit WP:OR, so I don't mind if you want to remove the picture from the nomination or even from the article. I'll probably be able to get a better pic eventually. :) SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 20:44, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
- I trust you...can you clarify details about size and uniformity of vacuoles in the article. All should be good to go after. well done. Whispyhistory (talk) 21:02, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
