Abstract:
A hospital-based epidemiological study of leukemia was carried out in the northern part of Tunisia during a 5-year period, from 1999 to 2003. Of 402 Tunisians diagnosed with leukemia, 344 (85.6%) had acute leukemia and 58 (14.4%) had chronic leukemia. Age-specific incidence rates for acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) are described. The distribution of leukemia in the governorate of Nabeul was established. These results are useful for the organization and follow-up of medical care.
