...Barbara J. Bain; Marie C. Béné Diagnosis and classification of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) require cytogenetic and molecular genetic investigation. However, while these evaluations are pending, morphology supplemented by immunophenotyping can provide clues to the diagnosis of specific cytogenetic...

...Adhra Al-Mawali; Avinash Daniel Pinto; Shoaib Al-Zadjali Background/Aims: In CD34-positive acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), the leukaemia-initiating event likely takes place in the CD34+CD38- cell compartment. CD123 has been shown to be a unique marker of leukaemic stem cells within the CD34+CD38...

...G.D. Pegrum; Carol A. Evans; Valerie L. Middleton 14 C-thymidine incorporation and cytotoxicity to a target cell were used to assess response of peripheral blood leucocytes from patients during the course of acute myeloid leukaemia. Studies were made after mixed culture with allogeneic lymphocytes...

...Johan Lanng Nielsen Development of acute myeloid leukaemia in 2 patients given long-term lithium treatment for affective illness is reported. The 1st was a 49-year-old man who was found to have acute myelomonocytic leukaemia after about 1 year of lithium treatment. He died 2 days after admission...

...T. Economopoulos; Z. Maragoyannis; N. Stathakis; E. Gardikas; C. Gardikas 75 cases of acute myeloid leukaemia were retrospectively classified according to the French-American-British (FAB) classification. It was found that: (1) the proposed classification was easily applicable and reproducible; (2...
