Abstract :
Monocyte esterase activity was studied in 1,000 doctor-attending patients with normal hematological indices and in 56 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or B chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The incidence of esterase deficiency was significantly greater in the NHL-CLL patients (7.1%) than in the population group (1.7%; p less than 0.05). In the NHL-CLL group, study of the families showed the esterase deficiency to be a familial characteristic. We postulate that the presence of the anomaly may be either a factor predisposing to the development of the NHL or CLL or a factor indicating a predisposition to these disorders. |
