title: [Herpes virus infections during a remission induction treatment in acute leukemias].
abstract: Herpes virus hominis infection was observed in 28% (diagnosis assessed 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.
