A total of 113 patients of leukemia, over 15 years of age, were seen in three different institutions from July, 1992 to June, 1994. There was an almost equal distribution of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (44 vs 43 cases respectively). Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) was the least common, accounting for 5% of all cases. Mean age in CLL was 59 years. Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) was three times commoner than CLL with a younger age distribution (median age was 34 years). We conclude that the clinicoepidemiological features of adult leukemias differ considerably from that seen in the developed world. However, recruitment of patients needs to continue in order to define these features based on a larger patient population.
1992年7月至1994年6月期间，三个不同机构共诊治了113例15岁以上的白血病患者。急性髓系白血病（AML）和急性淋巴细胞白血病（ALL）的病例数几乎相等（分别为44例和43例）。慢性淋巴细胞白血病（CLL）最为少见，占所有病例的5%。CLL患者的平均年龄为59岁。慢性髓系白血病（CML）的发病率是CLL的三倍，且发病年龄分布更年轻（中位年龄为34岁）。我们得出结论，成人白血病的临床流行病学特征与发达国家所见有很大差异。然而，仍需继续招募患者，以便基于更大的患者群体来明确这些特征。
