Pyrimethamine in prevention of relapses of meningeal leukemia: report of two cases.

Relapses of meningeal leukemia occurred in two children during hematologic remission of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Treatment of CNS leukemia consisted of radiotherapy and repeated intrathecal injections of methotrexate and cytosine arabinoside. Intrathecal installations of the drugs were accompanied with increasing neurological side effects which seemed to be lifethreatening. To avoid them, repeated courses of pyrimethamine were introduced. No further relapse of meningeal leukemia occurred after pyrimethamine. Hematologic remissions in both children have lasted for over 7 years. All therapy was stopped 16 months ago.

[Repeated, 2-10 fold asparaginase treatments in children with lymphoproliferative diseases].

In 42 children being in the advanced stage of an acute lymphoblastic leukaemia as well in 7 children with lymphosarcoma a total of 83 series of treatment with L-asparaginase were carried out. During the first blastic crisis of acute leukaemia 74% of complete or partial remissions could be obtained by two treatments and 52% by the following ones. The best results were obtained by organ manifestations of acute leukaemia (80% of complete or partial remissions). Less satisfactory results were achieved in treating lymphosarcoma. All remissions were only of a short duration.
