ABSTRACT
Spontaneous remission(SR) of acute leukemia is an extremely rare event. The precise incidence of SR in acute myeloid leukemia(AML) could not be assessed accurately because the majority of patients usually received induction chemotherapy within a few days after diagnosis. The mechanisms of SR are still not completely understood; therefore, the study of them is expected to contribute to the treatment of acute leukemia. We report a case of AML with SR, observed in a 23-year-old male who experienced severe infection and transfusions, with a brief review of the literature.
