Acute Myeloid

Introduction: Leukemias are neoplastic proliferations of haematopoietic stem cells and form a major proportion of haematopoietic neoplasms that are diagnosed worldwide. Typing of leukemia is essential for effective therapy because prognosis and survival rate are different for each type and sub-type Aims: this study was carried out to determine the frequency of acute and chronic leukemias and to evaluate their clinicopathological features. Methods: It was a hospital based cross sectional study of 60 patients carried out in the department of Pathology, JMCH, Assam over a period of one year between February 2018 and January 2019. Diagnosis was based on peripheral blood count, peripheral blood smear and bone marrow examination (as on when available marrow sample) for morphology along with cytochemical study whenever possible. Results: In the present study, commonest leukemia was Acute myeloid leukemia (AML, 50%) followed by Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL 26.6%), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML, 16.7%) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL, 6.7%). Out of total 60 cases, 36 were male and 24 were female with Male:Female ratio of 1.5:1. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia was the most common type of leukemia in the children and adolescents. Acute Myeloid leukemia was more prevalent in adults. Peripheral blood smear and bone Conclusion: marrow aspiration study still remains the important tool along with cytochemistry, immunophenotyping and cytogenetic study in the diagnosis and management of leukemia.

Congenital Malaria

A 38-day-old infant had fever, jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, and a hemolytic anemia. A peripheral blood smear demonstrated intraerythrocytic malarial parasites identified as Plasmodium vivax. Maternal and infant sera contained antibodies to this species. A directed history revealed the mother had suffered several febrile illnesses in Mexico during her pregnancy. Malaria had not been diagnosed nor was it considered at the time of her delivery at this hospital. Review of this and six other cases of congenital malaria reported in this country since 1950 indicates clinical manifestations seldom appear before 3 weeks of age. Although these signs are more frequently associated with other transplacental infections, their occurrence in an infant whose mother is from or who has traveled in an endemic area should prompt consideration of the diagnosis of congenital malaria.
