Hemoglobin and bilirubin were determined spectrophotometrically. Hematocrit was measured by centrifugation. Red blood cells, leukocytes, and percentage of neutrophils were determined microscopically. Blood viscosity was measured with a viscometer VK-4. Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase was determined by scoring the degree of staining of precipitated alkaline phosphatase in white cells in a peripheral blood smear.
