Hello, Julia, and welcome to Marrowforums. I'm sorry to hear that your mother was diagnosed with AML only after her abdominal injury. If I understand the word "phlegmona" correctly, it refers to an infection that would be unrelated to her leukemia but it may have been made worse because of her abnormal blood counts. Her treatment with antibiotics is unlikely to have affected her blast count in such a short time. I think that Cytarabine is the preferred drug for induction chemo. Vidaza is also a chemo drug, but is used primarily to control the progress of MDS.
Regards,
Ruth
