Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of adult T-cell leukemia include abnormal anemia, thrombocytopenia, and elevated lymphocyte count. Hypercalcemia is a key feature among patients with adult T-cell leukemia leukemia.
Laboratory Findings
Complete Blood Count
- Anemia
- Thrombocytopenia
- Elevated lymphocyte count
Basic Metabolic Panel
Peripheral Smear
- Charecterstic leukemia cells with sharp nuclear indentations and a prominent nucleoli
- "Cloverleaf" or "flower" cells
Antibody Titres
- Detect antibodies present against HTLV antigens
