leukaemia called acute myelogenous leukaemia.
• Agnogenic myeloid metaplasia (myelofibrosis)
• Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia
• Refractory anaemia (all types)
Familial erythrophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and other histiocytic disorders
Diseases that occur when there is an over-production of white blood cells known as histiocytes that can lead to
organ damage and tumor formation.
