Abstract:
There is paucity of outcome data regarding juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia from India. We report a series of eight children. Three had monosomy 7 and one had complex cytogenetics. One with Down's syndrome recovered spontaneously. Three refused therapy of whom only one is alive with disease. One died post chemotherapy. Three underwent allogeneic stem cell transplant after protracted delay with funds arranged from various governmental and non-governmental organizations. Of these two died (relapse-1 and intracranial bleed-1) and one is alive and disease free. In India, it's a milestone to reach transplant due to high cost and cure still remains a distant dream.

Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
