One of us (P.J.T.) has observed a recent case consistent with the remarks of Dr Inoue and colleagues on juvenile-type CML. A 2-year-old boy had a typical Ph1-negative, juvenile CML and elevated fetal hemoglobin values. A brief remission was induced; the next relapse was erythroleukemia. A second remission was achieved. The second relapse was histochemically confirmed acute monocytic leukemia.
