This study of acute leukaemia in adult at the two main hospitals in Dakar- the General Hospital from January 1980 to June 1986 and the A. Le Dantec Hospital from January 1978 to June 1986 - shows the progression of this ailment, which remains rare (0.85% of admissions - 5 cases per year). Certain clinical peculiarities are stressed (high frequency of infectious symptoms, considerable splenomegaly , adenopathy often present in acute myeloid leukaemia. More severe biological signs are evident than in series in the West, and (L.A.M.3) forms dominate. Grave developments are often the result of a shortage of diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. The authors stress the need to create a haematological clinic.
