Abstract
23 patients with primary myelodysplastic syndrome was observed in 1982-1988. 8 patients with RAEB and RAEB-t according to FAB criterias were treated with low dose cytosine arabinoside. No complete response and only one partial response +10 months duration was achieved. Treatment had a minor influence on the natural course of disease, and doesn't protect patients from the transformation into acute leukaemias.
