Leukocytes and platelets in heatstroke. The blood film obtained from a rat subjected to 41.5 °C was stained by May–Giemsa staining. The leukocytes were severely damaged, and nuclei were ruptured. Platelets were aggregated. Howell–Jolly bodies (arrows), nuclear remnants, are observed in red blood cells. Their presence may indicate increased red cell turnover
