Abstrakt: Transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM) is observed in a few neonates with Down syndrome. While a large proportion undergo complete remission without any treatment, some of them can develop myeloid leukemia of Down syndrome (ML-DS) in the future. Without proper treatment, mortality can be high. Here we have described an interesting and difficult-to-treat case of a neonatal with Down syndrome who presented with anemia, thrombocytopenia, and 75% blasts. We came across multiple challenges in treatment due to severe pneumonia.
