Primitive cells and naive cells can also be found in blood smear, which is called leukocytoclastic leukemia; there are also some patients with a decrease of white blood cells, and the white blood cell count of severe patients can be less than 1*10^9/L.
2. Platelet abnormality: most patients’ platelet count is less than 100*10^9/L, and there can even be extreme reduction of platelets in the advanced stage.
3. Abnormal hemoglobin: hemoglobin value of some patients can be less than 120g/L, suggesting anemia.
