We describe 3 patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML), who received rhG‐CSF for infections such as pneumonia or for prophylaxis of infection, and who achieved complete remission. They had not received any antileukemic therapy before or during the administration of rhG‐CSF. These findings suggest the possibility that complete remission can be brought about by G‐CSF itself in some patients with AML. Am. J. Hematol. 56:42–44, 1997. © 1997 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
