Serous effusions in monocytic leukaemias

Abstract
Four patients were reported who either presented with or developed serous effusions during the course of monocytic leukemia. This finding was not documented previously. All the patients had very high peripheral blood monocyte counts when effusions developed. The effusions resolved after the patients were treated with anti-leukemic therapy. The effusions apparently were disease related. Two of the patients were treated with raxoxane, one with eptoposide and the other with cytarabine.
