[Value of CT and lymphography in the staging of lymphomas (author's transl)].
The contribution of CT is evaluated in association with conventional diagnostic investigations in the staging of lymphomas. The data obtained by means of CT are an integration of those obtained by means of lymphography. On the other hand CT offers elements which cannot be obtained by others methods, especially concerning the retroperitoneal region. This diminishes the average of patients who must undergo laparoscopy and laparotomy. Moreover CT allows to follow the evolution of the disease and to control the results of the treatment.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation in acute promyelocytic leukemia. Possibility of treatment with glucocorticoids at high doses.
Seven patients affected by acute promyelocytic leukemia and presenting a hemorrhagic syndrome with hypofibrinogenemia have been treated with Daunorubicin and high doses of Glucocorticoids. In three out of the seven patients we also added an antiprotease agent (Trasylol, Bayer). Hemorrhagic diathesis has been controlled in all patients but one without massive platelet transfusions. A complete hematologic remission with prolonged survival was achieved in five patients.
