[Unrecognized atypical tuberculosepsis in generalized hematologic neoplasms]
Differential diagnosis and therapy of 4 cases (3 of acute myelogenous leukemia and 1 of Hodgkin's disease, stage IVB) of septic exacerbation of febrile course in generalized hematologic neoplasms under intensive treatment are described. The infectious process of 3 cases was confirmed as generalized tuberculosis only at autopsy. The incidence in over 250 patients (1973-1979) was 1.6%.
