Genetic susceptibility to anthracycline-related congestive heart failure in survivors of haematopoietic cell transplantation.

abstract：:During a trial using recombinant human interleukin-2 (rhIL-2) immunotherapy for acute myeloblastic leukaemia (AML) in remission, eosinophilia was observed in all patients. We used in-vitro clonogenic assays to investigate the mechanism of the eosinophilia in five patients. The mean eosinophil count increased from 0.05...
