Abstract
Transient extreme plasmacytosis of the bone marrow and hypergammaglobulinemia were observed in a patient suffering from acute leukemia. A high degree of correlation was found between these two phenomena. Evidence is cited from the literature supporting the thesis of a causal relationship. The reason for plasmacytosis associated with hypergammaglobulinemia remains obscure but may have been the manifestation of a reaction to penicillin.Keywords
