The megaloblastic erythropoiesis encountered in 3 azathioprine‐treated patients with renal transplants was found to be associated with a marked increase in the proportion of early polychromatic erythroblasts in the Gz phase of the cell cycle. By contrast, there was only a slight increase in the proportion of Gz cells in the neutrophil promyelocyte‐myelocyte pool of these patients.
