Abstract

A case is reported in which we were in a position to observe a patient with a chronic myelogenous leukemia convert to an aleukemic phase, with severe leukopenia becoming progressively more acute. It was in the stage of leukopenia that the oral lesions and persistent hemorrhage appeared and necessitated emergency treatment. Following frequent transfusions of fresh whole blood from a patient with a polycythemia, the blood picture improved and the white blood count showed a steady increase until it was over 2,000 cells per cubic millimeter, at which point the hemorrhage ceased and healing of the lesions took place.
