A review of acute childhood leukemia in the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur reveals no significant differences in either the epidemiological or clinical features between Malaysian and Caucasian children. BCG does not appear to have conferred any protection against the occurrence of leukemia. With the introduction of total therapy 4 of 10 patients with good prognostic features and 3 of 15 patients with poor prognostic features have survived 3 years. Prognosis appears to correlate with adopted clinical criteria.
对吉隆坡大学医院儿童急性白血病的一项回顾显示，马来西亚儿童和白种儿童在流行病学或临床特征方面均无显著差异。卡介苗似乎并未对白血病的发生起到任何预防作用。随着全疗法的引入，10例预后良好的患者中有4例、15例预后不良的患者中有3例存活了3年。预后似乎与所采用的临床标准相关。
