The unusual course of a boy with juvenile chronic myeloid leukaemia is presented. After bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from an unrelated donor followed by graft failure and subsequent stimulation by rhu GM-CFC and II-3, this patient experienced complete recovery of autologous haematopoiesis. At 17 months post-BMT the patient was off any therapy with completely normal blood counts and no signs of disease.
