Unequivocal lymphoblastic leukaemia in a 4-year-old boy was followed 3 years later by equally unequivocal myeloblastic leukaemia in his 20-year-old brother. The boy achieved complete remission and remains well more than 6 years later whereas his brother failed to respond to treatment and died after 5 months. The parents and 3 remaining siblings showed no recognized features suggesting a constitutional predisposition to leukaemia despite thorough investigation.
一名4岁男孩被明确诊断为淋巴细胞白血病,3年后,他20岁的哥哥同样被明确诊断为髓细胞白血病。该男孩实现了完全缓解,6年多后情况良好,而他的哥哥治疗无效,5个月后去世。尽管经过了全面检查,但父母和其余3个兄弟姐妹均未表现出提示白血病体质易感性的公认特征。
