متن کاملAcute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a malignant disorder of lymphoid progenitor cells, affects both children and adults, with peak prevalence between the ages of 2 and 5 years. Steady progress in development of effective treatments has led to a cure rate of more than 80% in children, creating opportunities for innovative approaches that would preserve past gains in leukaemia-free survival while redu...

We did a retrospective study of all acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) patients on United Kingdom ALL protocol who were admitted for febrile neutropenia.

Over the 8 1/2-year period from 1986 to June 1995, there were 77 episode...
