Acute leukemia as a delayed consequence of cancer chemotherapy.

Acute myelocytic leukemia occurring many years after intensive radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy has been reported in 82 patients with Hodgkin's disease, 58 patients with multiple myeloma, and 40 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The precise incidence of this occurrence is uncertain, since the total number of patients at risk is unknown. Most patients with Hodgkin's disease had received intensive radiation therapy. Many also received chemotherapy. One-third of the patients with myeloma were treated only with melphalan. Acute leukemia may occur as part of the natural history of Hodgkin's disease and multiple myeloma; it has been seen with increasing frequency in recent years due to improved survival secondary to better treatment. It is also possible that radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy may be causally related to the development of acute leukemia.

Pancytopenia in a patient with sickle cell anemia.

An 11-year-old black boy with sickle cell anemia developed profound pancytopenia during the course of his disease, but fully recovered therefrom. The patient was receiving anticonvulsant drugs for a seizure disorder secondary to a "stroke," and, therefore, a drug-related marrow aplasia cannot be ruled out.

Hodgkin's disease and acute leukemia. Report of eight cases and review of the literature.

Eight cases of Hodgkin's disease and acute leukemia are reported. An additional 74 cases of acute myelocytic leukemia or one of its variants, 11 cases of acute lymphocytic leukemia, 12 cases of chronic myelocytic leukemia and 37 cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia associated with Hodgkin's disease are reviewed from the literature. In 3 of the 82 patients with acute myelocytic leukemia and Hodgkin's disease, the two diseases occurred simultaneously. Of the remaining 79 patients, 76 had received radiation therapy for their Hodgkin's disease and acute myelocytic leukemia had developed 1.2 to 19 years later (mean 6.5 years). Thirty-four of these patients also received antineoplastic chemotherapy. Only three patients with Hodgkin's disease were treated with multiple chemotherapy alone; in these, Hodgkin's disease developed 1.2, 1.5 and 3.2 years later. In 4 of 11 patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia and Hodgkin's disease, the two disorders occurred simultaneously. The other seven patients were all treated with radiation for their Hodgkin's disease, and acute lymphocytic leukemia developed 2 to 8 years later (mean 4.5 years). Three of the 7 patients also received alkylating agents. It is concluded that the development of acute leukemia, mostly acute myelocytic leukemia but also acute lymphocytic leukemia, during the course of Hodgkin's disease, is most likely related to radiation therapy. There is as yet insufficient evidence to implicate intensive chemotherapy in the causation of acute leukemia since in only three patients with Hodgkin's disease treated with chemotherapy alone has the development of acute leukemia been reported. It is possible, however, that chemotherapy potentiates the effect of radiotherapy. 2t is also possible that acute leukemia is part of the natural history of Hodgkin's disease and is occurring with greater frequency because of improved survival in Hodgkin's disease since the introduction of better radiotherapeutic and chemotherapeutic treatment regimens.

Otology in the Bible and Talmud.

The present paper is an English translation of the chapter of Otology in Preuss's classic book Biblisch-Talmudische Medizin. Described in the Talmud are a variety of anatomical ear abnormalities such as double ear, pierced ears, small ears, cut off ears, and pendulous ears. A slave whose ear was wounded had to be freed. Compensation for injury to the ear and to hearing is clearly noted. Remedies for earache are mentioned. The legal status of a deaf-mute, and the relationship of deafness to muteness are also discussed in the Talmud.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia and lymphosarcoma associated with multiple myeloma: report of three cases.

Three patients had the rare occurrence of multiple myeloma coexisting with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or lymphosarcoma. It is not possible at present to resolve the question as to whether these two diseases represent part of the spectrum of a single B-cell disease or wether multiple myeloma and lymphoproliferative disorders are two separate entities, which may rarely occur by coincidence in the same patient.
