ResumoMr. D. is a 25-year-old male who has struggled with heroin addiction since his late teens. He had initially completed a 30-day rehabilitation program but relapsed immediately and entered another 2-week program. It was during this hospitalization that laboratory abnormalities were noted, and he was subsequently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. He received high-dose induction chemotherapy with cytarabine and daunorubicin but did not achieve remission. He was reinduced, achieved remission, and subsequently underwent stem cell transplantation with his younger sister as a donor.
