A patient relapsing with blastic lymphoid transformation of chronic myeloid leukemia after bone marrow transplantation received donor buffy-coat infusion. Low-dose chemotherapy was added because of a rapid WBC increase. Complete hematologic and cytogenetic remission was obtained. The patient remained in complete hematologic and cytogenetic remission for four months until he died in an accident. Two patients with acute leukemia failed to respond to a similar treatment.
