  • Title: [Exchange transfusion in children with blastic hyperleukocytosis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia].
    Author: Kaczmarek-Kanold M, Radwańska U, Bogusławska-Jaworska J, Rodziewicz B.
    Journal: Acta Haematol Pol; 1991; 22(2):290-6. PubMed ID: 1841501.
    Abstract:
    In 10 children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (mean leucocyte count 452 x 10(9)/l) 17 exchange transfusions were done for rapid reduction of this count. The control group comprised 11 children with similar values of white blood cell counts (mean 324 x 10(9)/l) treated initially with small, increasing doses of corticosteroids. In contrast to acute myeloid leukaemia the results do not support the usefulness of exchange transfusions in children with hyperleukocytosis during ALL.
