[Results of the treatment of patients with advanced Hodgkin's disease by the ABDiC and/or BVCPP protocols].

In 22 patients with phase IV of Hodgkin's disease refractory to treatment by the programmes MOPP and/or CVPP, and ABCD and/or BACOP, and in patients with recurrences after this treatment the ABDIC and/or BVCPP programmes were applied. In 5 cases this treatment was associated with radiotherapy. Complete remission lasting 30 months was achieved in one case. In 9 cases only clinical improvement was noted. Twelve patients failed to respond to this treatment. Ten patients died. The mean survival time of all patients from the beginning of treatment by ABDIC and BVCPP programmes to the end of the observation was 14 months, and the time from the diagnosis to the end of the observation was 69 months. The results of this treatment are not satisfactory.

[Analysis of 300 cases of secondary pancytopenia].

Clinical analysis of 300 cases of secondary pancytopenia treated in a period of 10 years is reported. The disease was more frequent in women than in men. The most frequent single cause were drugs, among them chloramphenicol. Most patients had pancytopenia and hypoplastic bone marrow. The mortality was 37%. Death occurred most frequently in the first 6 months of the disease due to infection or thrombocytopenic heamorrhagic diathesis. The results of treatment with corticosteroids and androgenic steroids were unsatisfactory.
