Observations on 18 patients with acute myeloid leukemia led to the conclusion that treatment with bone marrow transfusions combined with 6- mercaptopurine, corticosteroid hormones, and packed red cell transfusions has a favorable effect on remission and the course of leukemia in children. No cures resulted from this treatment. Best results were obtained when 6-merciptopurine treatment was followed by 5 or 6 transplantations at intervals of 5 to 7 days. Intraosseous injection of bone marrow did not cause complications when all the rules of asepsis and antisepsis were observed. (C.H.)
