Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a distinct subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a unique morphological appearance, associated coagulopathy and canonical balanced translocation of genetic material between chromosomes 15 and 17. APL was first described as a distinct subtype of AML in 1957 by Dr Leif Hillestad who recognized the pattern of an acute leukemia associated with fibrinolysis, hypofibrinogenemia and catastrophic hemorrhage. In the intervening years, the characteristic morphology of APL has been described fully with both classical hypergranular and variant microgranular forms.

A total of 97 acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients with adequate flow cytometry (FC) data, bone marrow aspirates and presence of t(15;17)/PML-RARA by cytogenetics and/or FISH studies were analyzed for immunophenotypic pattern. Leukemic cells had the following phenotype: CD11b-, CD11c-, CD13+, CD33+, CD45+, CD64+/-, CD117+, and HLA-DR-. A subset of cases showed also an expression of CD2, CD4, CD34, and CD56.

Background: Antibiotics which inhibit bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis are the most widely used in current clinical practice. Nevertheless, resistant strains increase dramatically, with serious economic impact and effects on public health, and are responsible for thousands of deaths each year. Critical clinical situations should benefit from a rapid procedure to evaluate the sensitivity or resistance to antibiotics that act at the cell wall.

We present our experience with immunophenotypic characteristics of benign and malignant myeloid populations, with emphasis on differential diagnosis especially between eosinophils, dysplastic granulocytes, neoplastic promyelocytes, and monocytes. Eosinophils are characterized by bright CD45, high side scatter (SSC), very low forward scatter (FSC), positive CD11b, CD11c, CD13, CD15, and CD33. They are negative for CD10, CD14, CD16, CD56, CD64, and HLA-DR.
