Role of prospective screening of blood for invasive aspergillosis by polymerase chain reaction in febrile neutropenic recipients of haematopoietic stem cell transplants and patients with acute leukaemia.

abstract：:This communication reports a patient with concomitant expansions of CD4+ and CD8+ large granular lymphocytes. Immunological analyses revealed that the abnormally increased CD4+ LGL fraction was phenotypically similar to other reported persistent CD4+ LGL expansions, whereas the phenotypic profile for the CD8+ LGL comp...
