Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare blood disorder commonly found in young children. It is not a well understood disease and therefore can be difficult to treat. There are two types of HLH, primary and secondary.
Hairy Cell Leukemia. Hairy Cell Leukemia (HCL) is a type of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). The disease is called hairy cell because in this subtype of leukemia the malignant lymphocytes have small projections on their surface that give the appearance of hair when one looks at a blood smear under the microscope. The abnormal (malignant) cell in Hairy Cell Leukemia is a B-lymphocyte. This cell infiltrates the bone marrow and usually the spleen. Along with fibrosis (scar tissue), it consumes most of the bone marrow space. As a result, the patient often develops pancytopenia (decreased red cells, white cells and platelets).
