Abstract
Acute leukemia in 32 infants diagnosed under one year of age was characterized by a higher than usual initial leukocyte count, a high incidence of skin infiltration and a variety of roentgenographic ab normalities. Sepsis and hemorrhage were the common causes of death. The prognosis for survival of children with acute leukemia under the age of one should improve with multiple drug therapy.Keywords
