Abstract
A simultaneous estimation of peroxidase in plasma and per single myeloid cell was carried out by my own colorimetric method upon 42 normal subjects and 101 cases with various disorders. Even though the cases examined were small in number, a certain speculation could be drawn as was shown in Table XIII. The abnormally high values for peroxidase per single myeloid cell were found in the cases with neoplasm, mild form of progressive muscular dystrophy and lupoid hepatitis. Less probably it might be said that in the cases with chronic hepatitis, glycogen storage disease, albinism, ecthyma, sepsis and rheumatic fever an abnormally high level of peroxidase per single myeloid cell would be found.
The extremely high values for plasma peroxidase were found in the cases with the peroxidase positive myeloblastic leukemia. A considerable high value for plasma peroxidase was found in one case with encephalitis of unknown etiology.
The abnormally low levels for peroxidase per single myeloid cell were found in the cases with chronic agranulocytosis, and gargoylism, and less probably in the cases with hypochromic anemia, acquired hemolytic anemia, osteochondrodystrophy and rheumatoid arthritis.
