Abstract
Many kinds of nonspecific cutaneous lesions have been occasionally observed in leukemia. I report two patients who developed the exanthematous eruption in the specific treatment perid. Both patients were effectively treated by the antileukemic drugs and their peripheral leucocyte counts decreased to less than 500. For the prophylaxis of infection, several antibiotics were used. When the leucocyte counts increased to more than 1, 000, the exanthematous eruption frequently developed.
This eruption, in the specific period of the treatment, was retrospectively supported by the many cases of the the other myelotic leukemic patients.
