title: [Herpesvirus infections during treatment inducing remission of acute leukemia].
abstract: Herpes virus hominis infection was observed in 28% (diagnosis ascertained on viral examination) to 33% (clinical suspicion) of 36 adult patients prospectively studied during remission induction chemotherapy for acute leukaemia. Symptoms are non specific so that diagnosis relies upon viral isolation. All infected patients but one survived the viral infection and the prognosis of the underlying acute leukaemia was unaffected.
