Chronic neutropenia of childhood: frequent association with parvovirus infection and correlations with bone marrow culture studies.

abstract：:Hypercalcaemia complicating acute myelogenous leukaemia is a rare but well-recognized phenomenon. In most cases the pathogenetic mechanism causing the hypercalcaemia remains poorly understood. We recently studied in detail two patients with acute myelogenous leukaemia who developed hypercalcaemia during the course of ...
