Hgb indicates hemoglobin; WBC, white blood cells; Neutro, neutrophils; Lympho, lymphocytes; Mono, monocytes; Plts, platelets; PGP, proliferating granulocyte pool; MGP, maturating granulocyte pool; M/E ratio, myeloid-erythroid series ratio; Plasma, plasmacytes.
Data at the time of study. BM differential was determined by evaluating at least 2000 consecutive nucleated cells in BM smears stained with May-Grünwald-Giemsa.
Total sum of the percentages of blast cells plus promyelocytes plus myelocytes within the BM nucleated cells.
Total sum of the percentages of metamyelocytes plus band cells plus mature neutrophils within the BM nucleated cells.
The mean PGP/MGP in the patients was 0.6 ± 0.15 versus 0.28 ± 0.05 in the controls (P < .0001) suggesting a shift to the left of the myeloid series.
The mean M/E ratio in the patients was 1.52 ± 0.24 versus 2.21 ± 0.37 in the controls (P < .0001) suggesting a myeloid cell hypoplasia.
