Abstract
The development of an acute leukaemic syndrome can perhaps be considered to be the usual evolution of chronic myeloid leukaemia. Its occurrence is feared and its prognosis is still very poor, despite recent advances in treatment. Twenty-nine patients have been studied, 14 males and 15 females, their ages were 16–71 years (median 40 years). The acute leukaemic syndrome appeared 3 weeks to 7 years after the apparent onset of chronic myeloid leukaemia (median 26 months).
