[Acute lymphoblastic leukemia: treatment results in 27 children (author's transl)].
Therapeutic protocol and treatment results of 27 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia are described. A remission rate of 88 per 100 was obtained. Fourteen children are living. Five of those followed for two or more years are living (35 per 100). The prophylaxis of leukemic meningitis was done with intrathecal Methotrexate. Only one child treated in this manner developed leukemic meningitis. Infection was the most frequent cause of death.
