Thirty-five spinal fluids with leucocytosis belonging to 26 children presenting neoplasia without metastases or CNS infection, were studied. We found that 69% of the cases were receiving some kind of CNS therapy, although leucocytosis could be found at any moment of the evolution and independently of treatment. It is stressed that the criteria for meningeal infiltration in children with neoplasia must be established only if tumoral cells are found in the spinal fluid. Pleocytosis and absence of symptomatology must not be used as the main criteria.
对26例患有无转移瘤或中枢神经系统感染的肿瘤患儿的35份白细胞增多的脑脊液进行了研究。我们发现，69%的病例正在接受某种中枢神经系统治疗，尽管白细胞增多可能在病程的任何时候出现，且与治疗无关。需要强调的是，只有在脑脊液中发现肿瘤细胞时，才应确立肿瘤患儿脑膜浸润的标准。脑脊液细胞增多和无症状不能作为主要标准。
