Incidence of chronic myelocytic leukemia among 96 cases of all leukemias was 5.3% and sex ratio was male : female=2:3 with age range between 7 months~8 years of age.

All of 5 patients had some degree of anemia. Leucocyte counts were over 100,000 only in 1 patient and below 100,000 in 4 patients. Platelet counts were below 100, 000 in 3 patients, 100, 000~200,000 in 1 patient and 300, 000~400,000 in 1 patient. All of them were treated with Myleran followed by some degree of remission.
