چکیده
In 1948 Hargraves and his associates at the Mayo Clinic described two new entities in marrow biopsy material, the " tart " cell and the " lupus erythematosus " (L.E.) cell. Since then the morphology and the mechanism of production of these " cells " have been intensively studied in the United States. It is the purpose of this communication to report the finding of L.E. cells in the bone marrow films of four cases of acute disseminated lupus erythematosus.
