Bone marrow necrosis at transformation of chronic granulocytic leukaemia treated with interferon.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient with chronic myeloid leukaemia was treated with interferon without using conventional cytotoxic agents. Bone marrow necrosis developed at the onset of blast transformation. It is suggested that cytotoxic drugs should be given before treatment with interferon for chronic myeloid leukaemia. Cytotoxic drugs may also be needed to prevent rapid bone marrow growth once interferon has been withdrawn.

The present study was undertaken to provide missing information on the distribution of AgNORs in large nucleoli of human leukaemic early granulocytic precursors in vivo as well as in vitro. In vivo, the distribution of AgNORs was studied in early granulocytic precursors of patients suffering from chronic myeloid leukaemia who were both untreated and treated with imatinib mesylate. AgNORs were v...
