title: [Defects in the prostaglandin system. IX. Lipoxygenase defect of thrombocytes in a patient with polycythemia vera].
abstract: Patients with the myeloproliferative syndrome (MPS) often show morphological and functional platelet abnormalities and an increased incidence of lowered cyclooxygenase- and/or lipoxygenase activity. We present the case history of a 68-year-old male patient with polycythaemia vera in whom an absolute absence of platelet lipoxygenase activity has been detected for the first time in the literature.
