Coagulation patterns of 19 newly-diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) at presentation were studied. Seventeen patients had hemorrhagic complications, of which four were fatal. Fatal hemorrhages were related with lower fibrinogen leve

We measured N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine-induced reactive oxygen species production by neutrophils from three patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia during treatment with all-trans retinoic acid using a luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence assay. The maximum level of reactive oxygen spe
