Abstract:
The ultrastructure of peripheral blood lymphocytes of 30 children with degenerative central nervous system diseases was analyzed. The affected children were divided into four groups. Lysosomal storage were characterized by the storage of membrane-bound inclusions in peripheral lymphocytes. Ceroidlipofuscinosis was manifested by the presence of curvilinear bodies. The appearance of abnormal mitochondria was found in mitochondrial encephalopathies. The tubuloreticular structures seen in lymphocytes of some unclassified cases suggested viral factors that acted in prenatal life. All findings confirm the role of peripheral lymphocytes analysis in the diagnosis of degenerative central nervous system diseases.

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...
