title: Pattern of hemoglobin concentration in untreated Burkitt lymphoma patients in Ibadan.
abstract: Hemoglobin concentration is studied in 128 untreated Burkitt lymphoma patients in Ibadan. While there is no significant diagnostic pattern in hemoglobin concentration, Burkitt lymphoma patients show marked anemia as compared with healthy adult Nigerians. The degree of involvement of malarial parasitemia in producing anemia in Burkitt lymphoma patients has yet to be determined.
