title: [Diagnostic cytochemistry of acute leukemias (author's transl)].
abstract: We have described the principal haematological features of 35 cases of acute leukemias, showing the usefulness of cytochemical reactions for the purpose of a right diagnosis and prognosis. The PAS, Sudan Black B and Peroxidase reactions have been very important in the differential diagnosis between lymphoblastic and myeloblastic acute leukemias. The specific and non specific esterases reactions have been useful in the monocytic leukemias diagnosis.
