Children's Hospital of Michigan

Walter N. Pahnke, M.D.

Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Dr. Pahnke:
Re: Case [
1174]
This patient was first diagnosed as Lymphatic leukemia -
aplastic stage in May, 1936. The blood picture corroborated
the diagnosis when in August, 1936, a 46,000 total white
count with 94% lymphocytes were found. Attempts at bone
marrow aspiration were unsuccessful.
The last admission was in November, 1936. At that time, she
had had many admissions for the same condition and repeated
transfusions. She was admitted in very poor condition,
transfused, but expired a few hours after admission.
Autopsy was not obtained.
I hope that this information will be helpful to you.
Yours truly,
Bess M. Simpson, R.R.L.

GD's note: In 7/60 when Dr. W. N. Pahnke studied 7 cases (16
readings) which we had so far indexed under leukemia, he
included Case [
1174] and obtained the above subsequent report
from the hospital.
