[Immune hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia after peroral therapy with a penicillin derivative (phenoxymethylpenicillin)].

A previously apparently healthy male patient developed Coombs-positive haemolytic anaemia and thrombocytopenia during phenoxymethylpenicilline intake. A drug dependent IgG red cell antibody was demonstrated in patient's serum. In vitro tests with patient's serum suggested formation of complexes involving penicilline which by complement mediated mechanisms were able to agglutinate red cells in saline medium.

[Our experiences in the treatment of acute leukemias].

This paper deals with observations concerning treatment of acute leukemia in the Department of haematology of The Clinical hospital of Belgrade during the period from 1970 to 1975, and with results of the treatment itself. During the last five years, 27 patients with different types of acute leukemia were treated. The type of acute leukemia was determined using cytological criteria of Levy and Lortholary and cytochemical criteria as described by Hayhoe.
