Abstract

Abstract


Fifty-four cases of adult acute non lymphoblastic Ieukaemia (ANIL) were studied. Their main symptoms were weakness and easy fatiguability (80%), fever (78%) and bleeding manifestation (48.38%). Our patients were younger (median age 34 years) and the disease was more advanced at the time of presentation than that seen in the West. FAB morphological classification of adult ANLL cases showed M2 (44.44%) the most predominant type followed by M4 (24%), MS and M6 were less common (3.7%). Majority of ANIL cases (68.51%) occurred up to the age of 40 years. Our results are comparable to European and consistent with Pakistani and Libyan studies
