title: [Ineffective erythropoiesis in myeloid splenomegaly: the 59Fe test, bone marrow histologic and cytologic data].
abstract: Eight patients presenting primary myelofibrosis or spent polycythemia were submitted to a ferrokinetic study, a triphine bone marrow biopsy and a bone marrow puncture. In all cases before treatment (splenic radiotherapy) ferrokinetic measurements demonstrated an ineffective erythropoiesis, the intensity of which was precised on bone marrow biopsies, in numbering the erythroblasts per surface unit. Bone marrow biopsies permitted also, through a semiquantitative estimate of the bone marrow cellularity, to evaluate an aplasia component not always expected with ferrokinetic study. Study of bone marrow allowed to precise the site of the erythroblastic abortion; cellular death might occur during the last nitosis of the erythroblastic series (transition from the polychromatophil erythroblasts to the acidophil erythroblasts). In order to delineate the general pattern of erythropoiesis before treatment and when assessing the results of a treatment, besides ferrokinetic measurements, the study of bone marrow biopsy and smears appears relevant.
