[Usefulness of beta-glucuronidase activity determination in the differential diagnosis of acute leukemia]

In 95 cases of acute leukemias the cytochemical type was determined according to Löffler's classification and the activity of beta-glucuronidase was determined in blast cells. In the light of these investigations it was demonstrated that determination of the activity of this enzyme may be useful only in the differential diagnosis and classification of certain cases of acute lymphoblastic or undifferentiated-cell leukaemias.
