S El-Haddad, and M Mahfouz, and Y Magahed, and F Mahmoud, and M Kamel, and M A Ali

Serum copper level (SCL) determination was carried out on sixteen normal children and on 16 with acute leukaemia. A significant increase in SCL was observed in cases of leukaemia than in normal controls. Drop of SCL occurs in cases who respond to quadruple chemotherapy, while those who failed to respond showed persistantly high serum copper level.
