A 3-year-old girl was admitted with a diagnosis of acute lymphocytic leukemia. After admission,
she was treated by administration of packed red cells, 2 units of platelets, IV fluids, and allopurinol.
On the second hospital day, chemotherapy was begun, using IV vincristine and prednisone and
intrathecal injections of methotrexate, prednisone, and cytosine arabinoside. She was discharged
for home care 5 days later. She was continued on prednisone and allopurinol at home. She
received additional chemotherapy 1 month later (11/1) and again on 11/14. On 12/6, she was
readmitted because she had painful sores in her mouth and was unable to eat.
