The study aims to clarify the clinical significance of blood basophils. At the onset of the study, a quanitative analysis of the basophils were performed.
The cells decrease in their number at thirties of age and then increase gradually as human grows on. The motile type of the cells was divided into 3 types. The velocity of the movement is slower than that of neutrophils and eosinophils but faster than lymphocytes and monocytes. No chemoaxis to staphylococcus aureus is defected.
Change in number of the cells in various leukemias was determined, finding that in acute leukemia the number increases as a reflective of an improvement of hematopoiesis in bone marrow, but in chronic leukemia after growing worse in the clinical condition arises their increase.
In short alteration of the blood basophils is taken to be a reflection of effect of therapy in various leukemia.
Our direct method using Haemaccel is recommended to count the blood basophils in leukemia especially in acute leukemia.
