The article reviews the changes in the structure of classification, diagnostic criteria for myeloid and histiocytic neoplasms in the 5 edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues (2022). Information is presented regarding new nosological forms, renaming and abolition of some previously existing ones. The importance of molecular genetic studies in the isolation of myeloid and histiocytic neoplasms and the need to apply these studies in clinical practice are emphasized.

Changes are presented regarding new nosological units, renaming and abolition of some previously existing ones. The importance of molecular genetic studies in the isolation of many lymphomas and the need to apply these studies in everyday clinical practice are emphasized.

The aim of this study is to identify prognostic biomarkers for CS development in COVID-19 patients and integrate them into a prognostic score for CS-associated risk applicable to routine clinical practice.
Materials And Methods: The authors performed a review of 458 medical records from COVID-19 patients (241 men and 217 women aged 60.
Unlabelled: Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a rare disease that is clinically manifested mainly by fever and lymphadenopathy. KFD was originally believed to occur primarily in East Asia women, this disease was subsequently described in all ethnic groups worldwide. The important differential diagnostic feature of KFD is the detection of CD123-expressing plasmocytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) in the tissue of the affected lymph node.
