                       Report of Independent Accountants
                       ---------------------------------

June 25, 1999

To the Administrative Committee of
 the Baxter International Inc. and
 Subsidiaries Incentive Investment Plan


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits
of the Baxter International Inc. and Subsidiaries Incentive Investment Plan (the
"Plan") at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of Assets
Held for Investment Purposes as of December 31, 1998 and Reportable Transactions
for the year ended December 31, 1998 are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  The Fund Information in the statement of net assets
available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present
the net assets available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available
for benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

their respective employees up to a maximum of 3% of compensation.  Participant
contributions are fully vested at all times.  Vesting in the Plan sponsor
matching contributions is based on years of continuous service.  A participant
vests in annual increments of 20% and is 100 percent vested after five years of
credited service.

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct contributions in any of
six investment options: Stable Income, Baxter Common Stock, Composite, General
Equity, S&P 500 Flagship and Daily EAFE.  The Allegiance Common Stock fund was
added in 1996 to allow participants to receive a stock dividend that consisted
of one Allegiance Healthcare Corporation ("Allegiance") share for every five
shares of Baxter stock owned as of September 26, 1996.  Participants are not
able to make contributions to this fund.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------

The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting.  Accordingly, investment income is recognized when
earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.  Plan investments, other than
group annuity contracts, are stated at fair value determined as follows:

U.S. government and government      Value based on the last reported
agency issues                       sale price from a national security
                                    exchange on the valuation date

Corporate and other bonds           Value based on the last reported
                                    sale price from a national
                                    security exchange on the valuation date
Common stock:

                                    national closing sales prices on the
                                    valuation date

 Traded on over-the-counter         Value based on last reported sale price
 market                             defaulting to bid quotations

Commingled investments              Value based on closing prices
                                    of the underlying securities on
                                    the valuation date

Group annuity contracts             Value based on cost plus accrued interest

Short term investments              Value based on cost which approximates fair
                                    value

Loan fund                           Participant note receivables are valued at
                                    cost which approximates fair value

Plan investment return includes dividend and interest income, gains and losses
on sales of investments and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of
investments.  The financial statements reflect the net appreciation in the fair
value of the Plan's investments.  This net appreciation consists of realized
gains and losses calculated as the difference between proceeds from a sales
transaction and cost determined on a moving average basis, and unrealized gains
and losses calculated as the change in the fair value between beginning of the
year (or purchase date if later) and the end of the year.

Amounts funded to insurance companies under various contracts are maintained in
deposit accounts which are credited monthly with earnings on the underlying
investments and charged for Plan withdrawals and expenses.  These contracts are
reported in the financial statements at contract value, which represents
contributions made under the contracts, plus earnings, less withdrawals and
expenses, because they are considered fully benefit responsive.  The fair values
at December 31, 1998 and 1997 approximate the contract values and the average
yields and crediting interest rates were between 7%-8% for 1998 and 1997.

Employee contributions and employer matching contributions are recorded in the
period in which they are withheld from employees and earned by participants,
respectively.

Accounts receivable from or payable to broker consists of the net cash value of
security trades with various brokers which settled after December 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk
- ----------------------------

The Plan holds investments under contracts with insurance companies that subject
the Plan to credit risk.  The Plan does not generally require collateral for
these contracts and does not anticipate a failure of the insurance companies to
meet their obligations established under these contracts.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes to the
financial statements.  Changes in such estimates may affect amounts reported in
future periods.

NOTE 3 - ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
- ---------------------------------

Employees become eligible to participate in the Plan on the first month
following one year of employment.  Eligible employees are those who meet the
following requirements:

      1.   U.S. employees of Baxter or its subsidiaries which have adopted the
           Plan.

      2.   U.S. employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreement
           unless the agreement provides for coverage under the Plan.

      3.   U.S. employees who are not leased employees.

NOTE 4 - ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN
- -----------------------------------

State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as trustee for the Plan.

The Administrative Committee administers the Plan.  The Investment Committee has
authority, responsibility and control over the management of the assets of the
Plan.  Members of both committees are appointed by the Board of Directors of
Baxter and are employees of Baxter.

Substantially all investment manager, trustee and administrative fees incurred
in the administration of the Plan were paid from the assets of the Plan.
