[Laboratory diagnosis of acute monocytic leukaemias]
The haemathological features of nine patients with acute monocytic leukaemia are presented. The peripheral blood and bone marrow showed differentiated and apparently undifferentiated blasts. It was necessary to type these blast cells using cytochemical reaction for specific and unspecific esterases. It is very important to differentiate this variety of acute leukaemia from the other non limphoblastic leukaemias for different prognosis and therapeutic assays.
