[edit] CLL link

Just to point out that the link for 'CLL' in reference to a type of leukaemia takes you to a page for 'central lancashire league'!!! it is, I think meant to stand for 'chronic lymphocytic leukaemia' rather than anything to do with english cricket.

Fixed that but what should CML point to? Rmhermen 21:19, Mar 23, 2004 (UTC)
Chronic myeloid or chronic myelocytic leukemia. I think both are used, i think the former sounds better. T 05:42, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Changed Sentence

Confusing sentence: "When these are very abundant it can be a feature of infection or leukemia, although the most common types of leukemia (CML and CLL) are characterised by mature cells, although these cells have an abnormal appearance on light microscopy (which can aid in the diagnosis)."

I changed it to "When these are very abundant it can be a feature of infection or leukemia, although the most common types of leukemia (CML and CLL) are characterised by mature cells, and have more of an abnormal appearance on light microscopy (it should be noted that additional tests can aid the diagnosis)."

Hopefully, my edits make more sense, but if they're incorrect (as I made some assumptions without a lot of research ^^;), please change them! -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.31.220 (talk • contribs)

Is it just me, or does the paragraph about diagnosis of malaria sound a bit like it's been lifted from a textbook (i.e. plagiarized)? "chapters" regarding specific species... hmmmmm... -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamack42 (talk • contribs)
