Abstract:
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) deficiency is rare and its symptoms are not specific; and therefore, it is not easy to identify persons either totally or partially who are myeloperoxidase deficient with every routine analysis. MPO deficiency can be detected by the pattern of the cytogram and the mean peroxidase index (MPXI) using the automated hematology analyzer Technicon H*2. A case of MPO deficiency is reported with some review of the available literatures.
