[The cytological possibilities for the early diagnosis of neuroleukemia].

The authors present the results of analyses of 425 samples of the cerebrospinal fluid from 67 patients with acute leukemia and from 30 ones with chronic myeloleukemia, carried out by the sedimentation method. This method permits concentration of the cells on a small site of the slide, involving the minimal injury to the cells, and thus helps obtain the cellular picture of the liquor, available for morphologic analysis. Detection in the sedimentation preparations with normal parameters of liquor cytosis of the blast cells in patients with acute leukemia and of the entire spectrum of maturing granulocytes with blasts in chronic myeloleukemia patients permits the diagnosis of the preclinical stage of neuroleukemia and thus helps detect the patients, for whom all the measures, included in the neuroleukemia prevention program, are absolutely obligatory and whose cerebrospinal fluid cellular composition should be regularly checked up.

[The cytological and biochemical aspects of studying the cerebrospinal fluid in patients with chronic myeloleukemia].

The investigation of cell composition and different biochemical parameters (ceruloplasmin, lactate dehydrogenase, aldolase, ferritin, beta-2-microglobulin) in cerebrospinal fluid has been performed in 37 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia at different clinicohematological stages. The age of the patients ranged from 16 to 67 years. CNS involvement has been diagnosed in 8 (21.
