THE ERYTHROPOIESIS IN ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKAEMIA A MORPHOLOGIC STUDY

U Sjogren

Abstract


The erythropoietic part  of  the  bone  marrow  has been morphologically analyzed in 18 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, 44  patients  with acute myeloblastic leukaemia and  in  20  controls. There were significant differences between the find­ ings in  the  lymphoid  and  the  myeloid  leukaemias and  it  seems  possible  that  the  erythropoietic cells are not involved in the leukaemic process  in  the lymphoblastic leukaemias in contradiction to the myeloid ones.
