Interferon-alpha 2a therapy in CML: disappearance of BCR/ABL transcript in a case of long-lasting continuous cytogenetic conversion.

Seventy months after diagnosis, minimal residual disease is undetectable in a patient with Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in long-lasting continuous cytogenetic conversion (CCC), achieved through alpha 2a-interferon (IFN-alpha) therapy. Fluctuating molecular remission, evaluated with the two-stage reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with nested primers, has persisted for two years at the maximum tolerable dose of IFN alpha (1.5 x 10(6) IU per day).

Blood glucose normalization-induced haemolysis in three adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus at onset and unknown G-6-PD deficiency.

We present three adolescents unknown to be G-6-PD deficient who developed haemolytic anaemia after admission for diabetes at onset uncomplicated by ketoacidosis. These patients had no bacterial infections and had not ingested haemolytic drugs. The fall in glucose availability after the correction of hyperglycaemia is proposed as capable of inducing haemolysis in G-6-PD deficiency.
