[Clinical, morphological, cytochemical and ultrastructural studies of a female patient with basophilic leukemia]. 1980

R Tosheva, and P Andreeva, and B Georgieva

The morphological, cytochemical and ultrastructural characteristics of basophilic cells in patients with chronic myeloleukosis were studied. The basophilic elements, dynamically followed up, from all phases of maturation, represented from 48 to 83 per cent of the cellular population in the peripheral blood and marrow. The cytochemical and ultrastructural investigations confirmed their belonging to the basophilic line. Certain changes were found, being an evidence of disorders in the maturation and metabolism of the cells. The high basophilic index, combined with a low neurophilic one, suggest the participation of the basophilic line in the leukosis process. On the base of the results obtained, the conception of the existence of basophilic leukosis is admitted.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells. (From The Merck Manual, 2006) Leucocythaemia,Leucocythemia,Leucocythaemias,Leucocythemias,Leukemias
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D001772 Blood Cell Count The number of LEUKOCYTES and ERYTHROCYTES per unit volume in a sample of venous BLOOD. A complete blood count (CBC) also includes measurement of the HEMOGLOBIN; HEMATOCRIT; and ERYTHROCYTE INDICES.
