| is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with chronic neutrophil counts of less than 0.2 X 109/L |
|
|
Term
| Chronic Benign Neutropenia |
|
Definition
| is a heterogeneous group of disorders associated with neutrophil counts of fluctuate from 0.2 to 2.0 X 109/L |
|
|
Term

|
|
Term

|
|
Term
| Myeloperoxidase Deficiency |
|
Definition
| During normal phagocytosis, this enzyme mediates the conversion of superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide to more toxic killing agents |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| autosomal recessive condition characterized by partial albinism of the cutaneous and ocular tissues. |
|
|
Term
| Chronic Granulomatous Disease |
|
Definition
| the congenital abnormality is associated with a failure in the activation of the respiratory burst which results in little or no superoxide production |
|
|
Term

|
Term
| Acute eosinohilic leukemia |
|
Definition
| is a rare subtype of acute myeloid leukemia with 50 to 80 percent of eosinophilic cells in the blood and marrow. It can arise de novo or may develop in patients having the chronic form of a hypereosinophilic syndrome. |
|
|
Term
| Acute lymphoblastic leukemia |
|
Definition
| is a form of leukemia, or cancer of the white blood cells. Malignant, immature white blood cells continuously multiply and are overproduced in the bone marrow. ALL causes damage and death by crowding out normal cells in the bone marrow, and by spreading (metastasizing) to other organs. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is a cancer of the myeloid line of white blood cells, characterized by the rapid proliferation of abnormal cells which accumulate in the bone marrow and interfere with the production of normal blood cells. |
|
|
Term
| Acute promyelocytic leukemia |
|
Definition
| a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. It is also know as acute progranulocytic leukemia; APL; AML |
|
|
Term
| Adult T cell leukemia (ATL) |
|
Definition
| is a rare cancer of the immune system's own T-cells. Human T cell leukemia/lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is believed to be the cause of it, in addition to several other diseases. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is an acute condition involving a severe and dangerous leukopenia (reduction in the number of white blood cells) in the body |
|
|
Term
| Chronic neutrophilic leukemia |
|
Definition
| is a rare myeloproliferative disorder that features a persistant neutrophilia in peripheral blood, myeloid hyperplasia in bone marrow |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| is a form of neutropenia which is most common in infants and young children where the body identifies the neutrophils as enemies and makes antibodies to destroy them. |
