Abstract:
The purine analogue, fludarabine, is of proven efficacy in the treatment of lymphoid malignancies. The drug appears to be well tolerated with minimal side-effects, and few toxicities have been observed. A case of myelodysplasia occurring after therapy with fludarabine is presented and its implications are discussed.
