Abstract

We describe 2 patients in whom a sustained remission of longstanding rheumatoid arthritis occurred with treatment for acute myelogenous leukemia (cytosine arabinoside, daunorubicin, and m‐AMSA), even though both illnesses had been refractory to therapy with standard disease‐modifying agents. These 2 patients represent the first successful treatment of rheumatoid disease using such an approach.
