Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm, classically described as a triphasic disease. However, little is known about risk factors for developing CML. Currently, ionizing radiation is the only established risk factor. Here, we report on a 37-year-old man treated for tuberculosis; 2 years later, he developed CML in a chronic phase. We would like to shed light on tuberculosis as a possible risk factor for CML.
慢性髓性白血病(CML)是一种骨髓增殖性肿瘤,传统上被描述为一种三相性疾病。然而,对于CML发生的危险因素知之甚少。目前,电离辐射是唯一已确定的危险因素。在此,我们报告一名37岁接受过结核病治疗的男性;2年后,他进入慢性期CML。我们希望阐明结核病作为CML一种可能危险因素的情况。
