RESUMO
Among 180 patients with varying leukemias bronchopulmonary aspergillosis was diagnosed in 4 (2.2%). Further development of the methods for the treatment of the main disease in this category of patients permits prognosing a significant rise in the incidence of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. The character of the clinical course of this infection and the ways for further improvements of its diagnosis in lifetime of leukemia patients have been considered.

Dentists should be on the alert when treating periodontal diseases in risk-group subjects. A manifest gingival inflammation along with other signs of iron-deficiency state, coupled with no effect of stomatological treatment, give grounds to recommend these patients to consult a hematologist.

By recent data, B12-deficiency anemia occurs in 14% of overall anemia cases. It arises mostly from gastrointestinal lesions, atrophic gastritis being the main etiological factor. Common clinical signs of the disease (glossitis, nervous disturbances, hemolysis) manifest in only 10-23% of the patients, hematological evidence of pancytopenia is registered in about half of the cases. The early diagnosis may be established with spinal puncture. That of the iliac bone tubera is a method of choice in elderly subjects.

The authors describe a case of successful treatment of medicamentous agranulocytosis (induced by mercasolyl) using hemoperfusion, an extracorporeal method for the treatment of intoxications. In the severe total intoxication syndrome, application of hemoperfusion in multimodality therapy of myelotoxic agranulocytosis improves the disease prognosis.
