Such factors as high levels of immunoglobulin E and pregnancy-specific 1-glycoprotein (PSG) appear as diagnostic criteria for both bone malignancies and acute hematogenous osteomyelitis. It was found that significant increase in blood-serum PSG in conjunction with lowered IgE is a marker of bone malignancy while decreased PSG and high IgE is that of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis.

The study deals with the effect of rehabilitative treatment given at a medium altitude mountain resort on peripheral blood count in 54 children radically treated for cancer. Hemopoiesis was studied versus type of tumor, treatment modality and follow-up period. Disorders of hemopoiesis were identified in 45 out of 54 children examined. Rehabilitative treatment under said conditions was shown to improve blood count. A statistically significant increase in RBC, hemoglobin and platelet, leukocyte and lymphocyte counts (p < 0.05) was observed. In 42 out of 45 patients with anemia, thrombocytopenia, leuko- and lymphopenia, the indexes returned to normal.
