    A quantitative evaluation of IgA, IgD, IgG and IgM plasmocytes in sequential bone marrow aspirates of patients with acute leukemia using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method was undertaken. Plasmocytosis resembled that of normal controls or was slightly subnormal on admission. When remission was obtained, bone marrow plasmocytosis was similar to normal controls, irrespective of the type of acute leukemia and the cytostatic treatment. Occurrence of infection strongly augmented the number of plasmocytes, with an initial increase in IgM and later in IgG plasmocytes. This suggests that the immune response is preserved in patients with acute leukemia.

    Disorders of Leukocytes

    Leukocyte disorders can lead to either leukopenia, characterized by an abnormally low leukocyte count, or leukocytosis, marked by a very high leukocyte number.
    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...

    Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

    Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
    The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy the...
