Relationship between high leukocyte count and cell size in childhood acute myeloblastic leukemia

Abstract

In order to determine the significance of cell size together with high leukocyte count (>30x109/L) in acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), we evaluated the percentages of small, medium and large cells in 33 children with AML. All of the 10 patients with a high leukocyte count and 14 of the 23 patients with a low leukocyte count (
