Patterns of leukemias in Jordanians: a study of 378 cases

378 patients of leukemias were admitted to Jordan University Hospital during the period from January 1976 through December 1983. Acute leukemias, acute lymphocytic leukemia in particular, were most frequent, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia was the least frequent type seen among Jordanians. In general the leukemias tend to occur in younger age groups among Jordanians.
