This is consistent with the findings in a series of unselected AML patients treated by intensive induction chemotherapy with 3–5 days of anthracyclines and 7 days of cytarabine where inflammatory markers including serum ferritin and CRP levels were significantly increased at day 8 (as much as a 3.5-fold increase compared to baseline) (18). Here, CRP is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
