Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Preceded by Tuberculosis

<p dir="ltr">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.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Case Reports in Oncology<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1159/000507822" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1159/000507822</a></p>
