| Leudet's tinnitus | <clinical sign> A dry spasmodic click, audible also through the otoscope, heard in catarrhal inflammation of the eustachian tube; caused by reflex spasm of the tensor palati muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |

| leukaemia | <haematology> An acute or chronic disease of unknown cause in man and other warm blooded animals that involves the blood forming organs, is characterised by an abnormal increase in the number of leucocytes in the tissues of the body with or without a corresponding increase of those in the circulating blood and is classified according of the type leucocyte most prominently involved. (18 Nov 1997) |
| leukaemia cutis | Yellow-brown, red, blue-red, or purple, sometimes nodular lesions associated with diffuse infiltration of leukaemic cells in the skin; the involvement may be diffuse and generalised, i.e., so-called universal leukaemia cutis, or it may be localised. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Leukaemia inhibitory factor | <growth factor> Polypeptide growth factor or cytokine with wide range of activities. Regulates growth and differentiation of primordial germ cells and embryonic stem cells but has effects on peripheral neurons, osteoblasts, adipocytes and various cells of the myeloid lineage. Given to adult animals induces weight loss, behavioural disorders and bone abnormalities. Many of the effects of LIF in vitro can be mimicked by IL-6, oncostatin M and ciliary neurotrophic factor, all of which interact indirectly with gp130, a shared tranducer subunit. (18 Nov 1997) |
| leukaemia l5178 | An experimental lymphocytic leukaemia of mice. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukaemia of fowls | A group of transmissible, virus-induced diseases of chickens, characterised by proliferation of immature erythroid, myeloid, or lymphoid cells. It includes both leukaemic and solid-tumour forms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukaemia p388 | An experimental lymphocytic leukaemia originally induced in dba/2 mice by painting with methylcholanthrene. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukaemia virus, bovine | The type species of HTLV-blv viruses that causes a form of bovine lymphosarcoma (enzootic bovine leukosis) or persistent lymphocytosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukaemia virus, feline | A species of mammalian type c retrovirus (retroviruses type c, mammalian) causing leukaemia, lymphosarcoma, immune deficiency, or other degenerative diseases in cats. Several cellular oncogenes confer on felv the ability to induce sarcomas (see also sarcoma virus, feline). (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukaemia virus, gibbon ape | A species of mammalian type c retrovirus (retroviruses type c, mammalian) causing leukaemia in the gibbon ape. Natural transmission is by contact. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukaemia viruses, murine | Species of mammalian type c retroviruses (retroviruses type c, mammalian) producing leukaemia in mice. It is commonly induced by injecting filtrates of propagable tumours into newborn mice. The gross strain (gross virus) occurs spontaneously in inbred mice, but none of the other strains occurs naturally. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukaemia, accelerated phase of | Refers to chronic myelogenous leukaemia that is progressing. The number of immature, abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow and blood is higher than in the chronic phase, but not as high as in the blast phase. (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukaemia, calla-positive | Acute leukaemia in which lymphocytes are positive for the common acute lymphoblastic leukaemia antigen (calla). (12 Dec 1998) |
| leukaemia, erythroblastic, acute | A myeloproliferative disorder characterised by neoplastic proliferation of erythroblastic and myeloblastic elements with atypical erythroblasts and myeloblasts in the peripheral blood. (12 Dec 1998) |

| leukocytosis |
An abnormally high number of leukocytes in circulation. This condition can occur during acute infection, inflammation, hemorrhage, and other conditions. Generally, a cell count greater than 10,000 cells/mm?indicates leukocytosis.
