Globule leukocytes in the respiratory epithelium of human upper airways: an ultrastructural study.
Baert J, Frederix M.
The ultrastructure of globule leukocytes is described in the nasal and tracheal respiratory epithelium of three boys suffering from chronic airway infections. The globule leukocytes lie free in the intercellular spaces and appear to be migratory cells. They are characterized by intracytoplasmic membrane-bound globules, variable in number, size, shape, and internal structure. The globules may apparently release their content between the neighboring epithelial cells. Human globule leukocytes are also characterized by the presence of **intracytoplasmic rod-shaped bodies***, the significance of which is not known.

The point I am making is that we are talking about the description from Sanish to Englisf..and rod-shaped is a recognised description. Whether they are stab cells or band cells is not the question as we are translating not diagnosing.

stab cells / stab leucocytes

I have an MSc Degree in Hematology and I have never heard of leucocytes that have the shape of a stick. I suppose the author means immature neutrophils (called stab cells). The name refers to the shape of their nucleus which is in one block and might take the form of a stick.

Peer comment(s):

neutral David Brown : band cell, a late metamyelocyte in which the nucleus is in the form of a curved or coiled band, not having acquired the typical multilobar shape of the mature polymorphonuclear neutrophil. Called also band form or neutrophil, rod neutrophil, and stab c.

agree tnkw (X) : Since 'band' and 'stab' are synonyms in this context (http://www.merckmedicus.com/pp/us/hcp/thcp_dorlands_content.... maybe 'band cell' is the better option. 'Stab' cell does, however, fit the bill.
