[Clinico-cytological parallels in acute myeloid leukemia in children]

Based on a comprehensive study of the morphofunctional parameters of blast cells by means of morphological, cytochemical, immunological and cytogenetic research methods, 8 types of blast cells and leukemic variants were identified in 200 children suffering from acute myeloid leukemia. In these children, the clinico-hematological parameters differed depending on the leukemic variant. Verification of the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia variants in children will favour further perfection of the individualized treatment programs.
