Summary. Erythrocyte superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase activities have been measured in patients with untreated malignant lymphomas. Marked deficiencies of superoxide dismutase (P<0.001) and glutathione peroxidase ( P <0.001) were found, whereas catalase levels were normal. There was no apparent difference in enzyme activities between the different histological types of lymphoma.
