The authors describe the clinical history of two adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia, who had severe neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. After chemotherapy in both patients had developed typhlitis with fatal outcome caused by sepsis. They discuss the etiopathogenesis and clinical features of necrotizing typhlitis as a complication of treated acute leukemia and point out the difficulty of the differential diagnosis and management.
