[Globoid cells leukodystrophy apropos of a case of Krabbe's disease]
Abstract:
A case of Krabbe's leucodystrophy is reported after photon and delayed ultrastructural microscopic study. Cerebroside overload within the cerebral globoid cells was shown as well as in the interstitial histiocytic infiltration of the peripheral nerves. Reviewed with the published literature, the characteristics of the inclusions observed seem to be unspecific and, from a morphological standpoint, Krabbe's disease may be related to the gangliosidoses.

Overview
Lysosomal Hydrolases
Lysosomes are the site for the degradation of macromolecules and biological polymers released during membrane trafficking events such as secretory, endocytic, autophagic, and phagocytic pathways. The membrane-enclosed area of the lysosome, called the lumen, contains hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment. These acid hydrolases are functional at a pH between 4.5 and 5 and are involved in cellular processes such as cell signaling, energy metabolism, restoration of the plasma membrane,...
Classification of Leukocytes
Leukocytes are classified into two groups based on the presence or absence of cytoplasmic granules. Granular leukocytes, which contain granules, belong to the myeloid lineage and are divided into three subtypes: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. These cells are roughly spherical and characterized by the granules in their cytoplasm.
Neutrophils are the most abundant type of granular leukocytes, comprising 50-70% of all leukocytes. They feature small, evenly distributed granules and a...
