PSEUDOMONAS-AERUGINOSA INFECTION WITH MARROW SUPPRESSION SIMULATING ACUTE PROMYELOCYTIC LEUKEMIA AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PATHOLOGY LANHAM, G. R., Dahl, G. V., Billings, F. T., STASS, S. A. 1983; 80 (3): 404-408

Abstract

Two cases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, with hemograms and marrow aspirates simulating acute promyelocytic leukemia, are presented. The absence of either Auer rods or abnormal granulation, as well as the clinical history of infection, are important clues to the benign nature of the process. Experimental and clinical evidence to support the role of Pseudomonas endotoxin in myeloid suppression and maturation arrest is reviewed.
