[Immunologic types of lymphocytes in acute lymphatic leukemia during remission (author's transl)].

The rates of B and T-cell-subpopulations of lymphocytes were examined on 15 children with acute lymphatic leukemia during the first complete remission under maintenance in the Pinkel VII scheme and in 6 further cases with modification of this scheme of treatment compared to normal children in the same age groups. Further on 4 children during a relapse, on 1 during the second remission, and on 3 during long-term remissions. The most important result was a significant reduction of B cells during intensive maintenance therapy of the Pinkel scheme. In the few cases of long-term remissions a reduction of B cells was no longer observed.
