Abstract
A patient relapsing with blastic lymphoid transformation of chronic my eloid leukemia after bone marrow transplantation received donor buffy- coat infusion. Low-dose chemotherapy was added because of a rapid WBC increase. Complete hematologic and cytogenetic remission was obtained. The patient remained in complete hematologic and cytogenetic remissio n for four months until he died in an accident. Two patients with acut e leukemia failed to respond to a similar treatment.
