. Armata, J. Cyklis, R. and Wyszkowski, J. (Institute of Paediatrics, Medical Academy in Cracow, Cracow, Poland). Ten cases of so‐called long survival in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Acta Paediatr Scand 63: 369, 1974.–Ten cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia are presented, in children all of whom survived more than 4 years. WBC and blast cell counts were registrered at low levels at the onset of the disease and at subsequent bone marrow relapses. Extramedullary leukemia occurred after 2 years (average) in bone marrow remission, which did not predict early bone marrow relapse. From 1962 to 1970 three treatment regimens for acute leukemia were compared; the best results depended on the intensity of treatment during the first remission.
