Under these circumstances, it is essential to reëvaluate promptly the fundamental underlying pathologic-physiology. It has been found to be most important to differentiate monocytopenia and pancytopenia particularly carefully, as due either to central bone marrow invasion or damage, or to some peripheral mechanism—with special reference to one of the so-called secondary hypersplenic or dysplenic
