Abstract
A 36-year-old man suffering from chronic myeloid leukemia (in chronic phase ) was initially treated with busulphan. At the end of 6 months of follow-up he developed bone marrow aplasia. He was given single foetal liver infusio n therapy. The patient recovered fully from aplasia. He continued in chroni c phase for more than 7 years with intermittent busulphan therapy.
