Twenty patients with acute myelocytic leukemia were observed over a period of 16.5 patient years in an attempt to identify any relationship between fever, granulocytopenia (<1000 gran ulocytes/µl), infection, and disease status. An infectious origin for fever in association with gran ulocytopenia could be established in the majority of instances during the induction of remission and during relapse. This finding differs from what has been previously noted in children with the more common form of leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia.
