The main objective of this study is to compare conventional chemotherapy: daunorubicin and the Aracytine and this chemotherapy in combination with the monoclonal antibody used Mylotarg in divided doses.
Patients with a morphologically proven diagnosis AML and both the two following criteria: * Age \> 50 years and £ 70 years. * Not previously treated for their disease. Randomization will be centralized by phone : Arm A chemotherapy with daunorubicin and Aracytine or Arm B Daunorubicin and Aracytine and Mylotarg.
