A 23-year-old woman with acute myelocytic leukemia had passed a normal delivery. On a regular check-up at the ninth month of her pregnancy, she was found to be anemic and diagnosed as acute myelocytic leukemia on a blood smear. At that time, white blood cell count was only 900/mm3.
After the delivery, she was treated with daunomycin, cytosine arabinoside, 6 MP, and prednisolone. Although her general condition was once markedly improved, the complete remission was not obtained. Seven months later, she died from severe esophageal bleeding.
Her seven-month-old baby revealed no leukemia.
