From: TX-012 on 15 Jul 2008 22:21 I'd be curious to know often this is seen in patients on hep c treatment (and of course what the significance is)--the reason I was on Norco and am now on OxyContin was because of the muscle/joint/ connective tissue pain which is certainly associated with inflamation-- my hands and knees, for example, often become somewhat swollen; without opiates I essentially am a shuffling arthritic mess who can barely open a jar... Toxic granulation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Toxic granulation refers to changes in granulocyte cells seen on examination of the peripheral blood film of patients with inflammatory conditions. They are commonly found in patients with sepsis. Toxic granulations are dark coarse granules found in granulocytes, particularly neutrophils. Along with Dohle bodies and cytosolic vacuolation, which are two other findings in the cytoplasm of granulocytes, toxic granulations are a peripheral blood film finding suggestive of an inflammatory process.
