[Haematological and immunological findings in bone marrow aplasia (author's transl)].

The cellularity of the bone marrow, the number of blood cells and the immunoglobulins were investigated in 51 patients suffering from bone marrow aplasia. In this disease not only is a haematopoietic organ disturbed, but disorders of the lymphocyte and of the monocyte-systems can be detected too: the majority of patients show lymphocytopenia and monocytopenia. Immunologic reactions seem to be involved in the pathogenesis of bone marrow aplasia. The plasma cells of the bone marrow are elevated in nearly all of the patients, lymphocytes in every second case. One or several fractions of immunoglobulins are increased in about 50% and diminished in 25% of the patients.

[Quantitative behavior of immunoglobulins in Hodgkin patients following splenectomy].

The values of immunoglobulins in 14 patients with malignant lymphoma were determined before and 1 to 44 weeks following splenectomy. The IgM-fraction showed a significant decrease in all cases, whereas the IgG- and IgA-fraction showed no change in its concentrations. The reason for the IgM-decrease is probably due to the absence of IgM-producing cells in the spleen.
