hematopoietic system
• decreased numbers of mature myeloid cells in bone marrow but normal megakaryocyte levels and overall cellularity is normal
|
• metamyelocytes and granulocyte numbers are reduced 50%
|
• 12% normal levels of circulating neutrophils while other blood cell counts are normal
|
• total numbers of hematopoietic progenitor cells in bone marrow is reduced
|
• higher levels of apoptosis in cultured bone marrow mononuclear cells
|
• monocyte numbers in peripheral blood are reduced about 50%
|
