Twenty PB relapses (45.45%) and twenty four MB relapses (54.55%) were found among 5,298 originally classified PB patients and 5 MB relapses occurred in 2,624 originally classified MB patients. Mean relapse interval was between 3-4 years. The relapse rate within 10 years after stopping MDT was 0.83 per cent in PB and 0.19 per cent in MB. The estimated relapse rate per 1,000 patient-years was 1.55 for PB and 0.41 for MB respectively.</p>},
