## BACKGROUND. Although it is widely accepted that failure to achieve complete remission (CR) portends a poor prognosis in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), there is variability in the precise definition of induction failure and, to the authors' knowledge, few published data exist regar

To determine the incidence of thrombocytosis at presentation in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), medical records of all children diagnosed at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh from 1980 to 1987 were reviewed. Out of 217 such patients, 7 (3.2%) had platelet counts greater than 400,000/mm3. All
