title: Prognostic value of adenosine deaminase activity in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
abstract: Adenosine daminase (ADA) activity was measured in 70 children with ALL. On the basis of a 5 1/2 years observation, it was found that children with low ADA activity in serum before treatment have a greater chance for longer CCR duration than children with high ADA activity.
