Abstract

A patient with chronic phase Philadelphia chromosome positive CML, developed severe protracted bone marrow hypoplasia after interferon therapy. This complication did not respond to two courses of immunosuppressive therapy with anti-thymocyte globulin, cyclosporin A and prednisone. The patient continued to be transfusion dependent with persistence of Philadelphia chromosome. Allogeneic BMT restored normal hematopoeisis.
