[Cytogenetic study of peripheral blood lymphoid cells in children with lymphogranulomatosis]

In 6 untreated patients the chromosome set of lymphoid cells in the peripheral blood was studied. It was shown that there were quantitative and structural changes of the karyotype arising yet at the early stage of the process. This offers an opportunity to use the cytogenetic test for establishing the differential diagnosis between lymphogranulomatosis and reactive lymphadenitis.
