Bone marrow biopsy samples from eight homosexual men meeting the Center for Disease Control's criteria for the syndrome were obtained, and differential cell counts and flow cytometry were done. Eleven patients were used as controls, ages 35 to 65, with localized solid tumors without histologic evidence of bone marrow involvement....References1.
