Kroll et al. (1) recently reported incidence time trends for childhood leukemia in Britain during 19742000 and suggested that small peaks in incidence may be associated with influenza epidemics. The authors observed an overall increase in childhood leukemia during this period that they attributed to precursor B-cell subtype of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
