Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Hematology - Year 2012, Vol 29, Issue 3
Abstract
In this issue of the journal, Bugdaci et al. reports on the pulmonary radiological findings in patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) and their relation to chemotherapy and prognosis [1]. Respiratory events occurred in 19% of the 278 patients, especially in advanced aged patients with low absolute neutrophil leukocyte counts at initial presentation of disease. Pulmonary findings were due to infection in 56.6% of cases and to another cause in 24.5%. These results and the rate of pulmonary events with undetermined etiologies were consistent with similar studies from different groups such as Chaoui et al. and Rano et al. [2, 3].
