Childhood sickle cell crises: clinical severity, inflammatory markers and the role of interleukin-8.

abstract：:This study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of alpha interferon (IFN) in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, a disease for which therapeutic options are still unsatisfactory. Fourteen sequential unselected patients received recombinant alpha-2b IFN (Intron-A, Schering-Essex) 3 megaU/day, progressively elevated to 10...
