Eight patients diagnosed as having chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) from clinical and haematological data were also observed to possess immunological characteristics similar to tropical splenomegaly syndrome (TSS).

Consequently, raised serum IgM, which is a feature of TSS, may also be found in some cases of CLL in Nigeria.
