H. BRAUNSTEINER ,
K. FELLINGER , and
F. PAKESCH
Electron-microscope observations on bone marrows and lymph nodes of 16
patients with acute leukemia and 27 patients with various malignant blood
diseases are reported. The approximate number of cells from the cases of acute
leukemia which could be examined is reported. In a single instance of acute
leukemia a group of virus-like bodies was found. Similar particles, however,
have also been observed in several tissue cultures of a Chang strain from
human liver.
