Tropical splenomegaly syndrome or chronic lymphatic leukaemia?
Four patients with the Tropical Splenomegaly Syndrome, showing marked lymphoid hyperplasia were studied, using immunological techniques.

Careful follow-up of similar patients may provide important clues to the pathogenesis of these diseases.
