Studies on Monocytic Leukemia by Means of Bone-Marrow Tissue Culture Part 3. Clinical Statistics of 30 Cases of Monocytic Leukemia diagnosed by Bone-Marrow Tissue Culture

In the present report the results of the clinical statistcs are presented concerning 30 cases of monocytic leukemia, that were correctly diagnosed by tissue culture of the bone marrow during the past four years from January 1954 to December 1957. Characteristic findings on monocytic leukemia in comparison with other leukemias are as follows: 1.
