[Malignant reticuloendothelioses. Clinical variations influencing prognosis].
The relationship of age, sex, clinical findings and prognosis was studied among 30 children with malignant reticuloendotheliosis. A male predominance was found, but it was not possible to make any prognostic correlation regarding this parameter. A definitive worse prognosis was found in the early ages, thus 88% of less than 12 months-old children died. Although the visceral involvement degree signifies a poor prognosis, it was found that nevertheless, a solitary osteolytic lesion is in the accordance with good prognosis; all patients who did not have bone lesions died in less than three years. It is the first part of our purpose to enact the usefulness of the clinical findings toward a more precise prognosis in the malignant reticuloengotheliosis. Later on, we will report the possibility to obtain a numerical data from the clinical findings in order to establish an accurate prognosis.
