Popis: | Flow cytometric diagnosis and minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment of precursor B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) are heavily dependent on CD19 based gating strategies. However, this approach is not optimal in the diagnosis and follow-up of CD19 negative or dim B-ALLs. Though CD19 negative B-ALLs are rare, in the current era of CD19 targeted immuno-therapy, CD19 negative B-ALL relapses are frequent. We have presented our cohort of 14 de novo CD19 negative and dim B-ALLs and have highlighted the difficulties faced during diagnosis and MRD assessment of these patients. We have also discussed the need to identify alternative B-lineage gating markers and strategies to deal with such scenarios. |
