Abstract:
We report 67 patients with acute erythroid leukemia (erythroleukemia) based on the World Health Organization (WHO) 2008 classification. Reviewing the clinicopathologic features, cytogenetics and outcomes, the characteristics of erythroleukemia resembled myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Patients with poor performance status, advanced anemia and poor-risk cytogenetics had significantly inferior outcomes. The International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) for MDS is useful to differentiate the prognosis of erythroleukemia.

Classification of Leukocytes
Neutrophils are the most abundant type of granular leukocytes, comprising 50-70% of all leukocytes. They feature small, evenly distributed granules and a...
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...
Disorders of Erythrocytes
Erythrocyte disorders can be broadly categorized into two main types: anemic and polycythemic conditions.
A low oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood due to the loss, lower production, or destruction of erythrocytes is termed anemia. Hemorrhagic anemia, for example, occurs when bleeding from an external wound or internal ulcer reduces erythrocyte counts.
