7. Erythroleukemia: Also known as Acute Myelogenous Leukemia type M6. This
type is
associated with either the presence of both erythroid and myelo
precursors OR strictly erythroid precursors.
8. Myelomonocytic leukemia Is associated with an increase in myeloid and monocytic
cell pre-
cursors, but not red blood cell precursors
