[Relapses and complications of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in childhood: a review of cases]. / Recaídas y complicaciones de la leucemia linfoblástica aguda en la infancia: una revisión de nuestros casos.

The relapses and complications happened on the 17 cases of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the Hospital General de Segovia have been reviewed from November 1974 to September 1989. Those which have a higher interest because of their relevance or infrequency have been under discussion. Among the relapses the pulmonary and the testicular are singled out. We differentiate between the complications produced during the treatment and the long-term ones, pointing up varicella as an infectious complication.
