308 Case Reports anhydrase is low, and i antigen titres are high (Weatherall et al, 1968; Maurer et al, 1972). We have previously reported that elevated HbF levels observed in patients with haemoglobinopathies and patients recovering from bone marrow transplantation, occur in the progeny of adult'fetal-like'rather than truly fetal progenitors (Weinberg et al, 1983, 1984, 1986). These progenitors can be distinguished in erythroid cultures. Fetal erythroid progenitors develop into burst forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E)-derived colonies early in methyl cellulose cultures. These colonies contain high levels of HbF composed mostly of" y globin chains. The relative syntheses of': y and total y globin are correlated in newborn BFU-E-derived colonies. In contrast, adult'fetal-like'progenitors differentiate into cells which synthesize less HbF with a lower proportion of". The syntheses of Gy and total y globin are not correlated in individual adult'fetal-like'BFU-E-derived colonies, which appear later in culture. In the studies presented here, erythroid cultures indicated that the abnormal progenitor cells from our patient were of truly fetal origin. Thus, JCML is the only postnatal example of truly fetal erythropoiesis. The patient was a 7-year-old boy who presented with pallor, anaemia, thrombocytopenia and hepatosplenomegaly. His initial blood count was: haematocrit 24.1%, platelet count 17 x 10y/l, and white blood cell count 24.2 x 10y/l, with 38% granulocytes, 22% lymphocytes, 14% monocytes and 22% nucleated red blood cells. His presentation bone marrow had erythroid hyperplasia with decreased megakaryocytes, erythrophagocytosis, and no malignant or primitive haematologic cells. More than a year later, HbF had risen to 73%. leucocyte alkaline phosphatase was abnormally low
