Abstract

The marginal neutrophil leukocyte pool and the bone marrow neutrophil reserves were assessed in 43 patients with lymphoreticular malignancies, using epinephrine and steroid stimulation. Thirty‐three patients were studied before staging, following splenectomy, before and after nodal irradiation and during remission induction chemotherapy. Ten patients in partial remission were studied after 12 months or more of chemotherapy. A neutrophil count of 1,500–2,500 cells/mm^3^ is not a sufficient guide for modifying the chemotherapy. The response to steroid stimulation may be a more dependable guide to evaluate the patient's potential risk for infection.

Blood was obtained on 414 occasions from 106 children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) or solid tumors. Resting and stimulated hexose monophosphate shunt (HMPS) activity and unstimulated and stimulated nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) dye reduction were assessed on each sample. The values obtained w
