title: Cellular dysmaturity as a prognostic index in acute myeloid leukaemia.
abstract: The bone marrow and peripheral blood findings of 22 selected patients with acute myeloid leukaemia were studied. A correlation was detected between the incidence of attainment of complete remission and the balance of nucleo-cytoplasmic differentiation in the neutrophil series. The prognostic significance of this finding and its relevance to choice of therapy is discussed, as are the possible underlying causes for the phenomenon.
