Abstract:
In patients with viral and bacterial infectious mononucleosis during the acute period of disease and clinical convalescence blood content of CD72(+)and CD16(+)lymphocytes increased compared to normal. The count of CD8(+)cells increased in viral mononucleosis during convalescence and these changes persist in delayed periods after convalescence. In bacterial mononucleosis the content of CD72(+)lymphocytes return normal 18 months after convalescence.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
