In adults, absolute lymphocytosis is present when the lymphocyte count is greater than 5000 per microliter (5.0 x 10 9 /L), in older children greater than 7000 per microliter and in infants greater than 9000 per microliter. [1] Lymphocytes normally represent 20% to 40% of circulating white blood cells. When the percentage of lymphocytes exceeds ...
Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) refers to a group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in which aberrant T cells proliferate uncontrollably. Considered as a single entity, ALCL is the most common type of peripheral lymphoma [1] and represents ~10% of all peripheral lymphomas in children. [2]
In situ follicular lymphoma is an accumulation of monoclonal B cells (i.e. cells descendent from a single ancestral cell) in the germinal centers of lymphoid tissue. These cells commonly bear a pathological genomic abnormality, i.e. a translocation between position 32 on the long (i.e. "q") arm of chromosome 14 and position 21 on chromosome 18's q arm.

English: Normal values for Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second (FEV1) and Forced Expiratory Flow 25–75% (FEF25–75%). Y-axis is expressed in Litres for FVC and FEV1, and in Litres/second for FEF25–75%.
Once set, light chain class remains fixed for the life of the B lymphocyte. In a healthy individual, the total kappa-to-lambda ratio is roughly 2:1 in serum (measuring intact whole antibodies) or 1:1.5 if measuring free light chains, with a highly divergent ratio indicative of neoplasm .
The second-most common cancer is lymphoma, which is the cause of death of nearly 16% of people with AIDS and is the initial sign of AIDS in 3% to 4%. [41] Both these cancers are associated with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8). [41] Cervical cancer occurs more frequently in those with AIDS because of its association with human papillomavirus (HPV).

[clarification needed] [16] The normal hematocrit level is around 40% for adult women and about 45% for adult men. In newborns, it is approximately 55% and drops to around 35% by 2 months of age. In newborns, it is approximately 55% and drops to around 35% by 2 months of age.
