ABSTRACT
This is a case of nectrotising myopericarditis complicated with an acute apical left ventricular aneurysm in a young patient with the history of bronchial asthma and recurrent eosinophilia. Prompt clinical improvement coinciding with normalisation of the blood count in response to steroids was observed. Possible aetiology of hypereosinophilia is discussed.

ABSTRACT
Among the rare acute mixed-lineage leukaemias, a myeloid T-cell phenotype has recently been recognised. An additional case characterised by myeloid cytochemistry, development of Auer rods in culture and Tdt, WT1 and T11 phenotypes on cell-marker analysis is reported. The patient died from disseminated non-reactive tuberculosis after chemotherapy.
