Abstract
Of the eight reported infants (including ours), three died, including two through acute transformation of the leukaemia. The prognosis seems to be highly dependent on cytogenetic features with the 11q23 rearrangement being at higher risk of acute transformation, prompting recourse to aggressive chemotherapy. Our case further illustrates the favourable prognostic value of a normal karyotype, a situation in which therapeutic abstention seems possible, and is even recommended.
