Abstract
Five patients with circulating plasmacytes and plasmacytoid lymphocytes in association with hyperimmunization, sulfonamide sensitivity, trauma and transfusion, hepatic disease and transfusion, and metastatic prostatic carcinoma are described. Peripheral plasmacytes ranged from 300 to 1,376 per cu. mm. and disappeared within 3–7 days. In four of the patients there was no associated M component. However, in one patient with severe alcoholic hepatic disease and hypergammaglobulinemia, transient peripheral plasmacytosis was associated with free circulating kappa chains.
