Osmotic fragility of peripheral blood lymphocytes in some lymphoproliferative disorders.
We have studied the osmotic fragility of lymphocytes in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and infectious mononucleosis. It was found that these lymphocytes had a greater osmotic fragility than the normal ones of healthy controls.
