The article presents a case study of 85-year-old male patient with transformation acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who were treated with amifostine and ultralow dose decitabine. The patient was given erythropoietin with progressive decline in haemoglobin along with the collection of venous blood from cubital vein of patient.
