Hairy cell leukemia patients treated with 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine or 2-deoxycoformicin achievea very high number of therapeutic responses. After complete remission, i.e. minimal residualdisease, we cannot demonstrate the disease activity, splenomegaly, or lymphadenopathy; moreover,there comes to normalization of hemoglobin concentration, leukocyte count, and plateletcount. No leukemic cells in peripheral blood or bone marrow smears can be seen with the use ofstaining techniques. They can be demonstrated immunohistochemically in decalcified trephinebone marrow biopsies with the use of DBA.44 antibody together with their morphologic features.For quantification of leukemic cells we use LUCIA-M image analysis.
Key words: hairy cell leukemia – immunohistochemistry – minimal residual disease – trephinebone marrow biopsy – DBA.44
