Abstract

Excess permittivity of erythrocytes was high in the case of leukaemic condition than in normal. Leukemia influences the physiology of the erythrocyte membrane. The leukemic erythrocytes seem to behave as very sensitive sensors picking up signals and storing them in their membrane which become more dielectric than normal erythrocytes.
