[Successful reinduction of complete remission in a patient with ALL associated with multiple liver abscesses who relapsed after 6 years].
We reported on a 35 year-old patient suffering from ALL with multiple liver abscesses (Journal of Kyusyu Hematological Society, Vol. 31, No. 3 & 4, Dec., 1983). He experienced six years of complete hematological remission from 1983 to 1989, with low fever, positive CRP, polyclonal gamma-globulinemia and elevated alkaline phosphatase. A relapse occurred in June of 1989. A subsequent biopsy revealed fibrosis of the liver attributed to inflammation. At present, he has returned to the complete remission stage with no exacerbation of the liver abscesses.
