The authors present the results of immunophenotyping analysis of cells from 67 patients with the diagnosis of B-CLL from group of 393 adults examined by immunophenotyping because of a haematological malignity. Characteristic for B-CLL is the finding of surface molecules HLA DR, B lymphocytic superficial molecules and CD5. Aberrant membrane equipment of B-CLL cells is suggested by the rare absence of some pan B lymphocytic sign. Marked reduction of T lymphocyte ratios, their sub-populations and NK cells is associated with immunodeficiency manifestations which are common in patients with B-CLL.
