Abstract:
The study was carried out on 61 chronic myelo-granulocytic leukemia (CML) patients aimed to investigate the cytological features of peripheral blood. The results showed that all patients had laboratory features of normocytic and normochromic anemia (RBC counts: 2.8T/L +/- SD 0.59). All patients have increased WBC and platelet counts (WBC count: 210.5G/L +/- SD 101.0, platelet count: 624.3G/L +/- SD 431.9). The differentiated white cells showed all types of granulocytic cell (myeloblast 1.5%, promyelocytes 4%, myelocytes 15.5%, metamyelocytes 14.8%, band forms 7.1%, segmented neutrophils 44.9%, basophils 3.3%, eosinophils 2.4%, lymphocytes 5.4%, monocytes 0.1%) with the increase on absolute number and percentage of basophil and eosinophil. However, there was no elevation in myelocyte count compared with metamyelocyte count
