Red cell hypoplasia, thrombocytosis, and leucocytosis: myelodysplastic and proliferative syndrome.
Three patients with chronic red cell aplasia also showed thrombocytosis or granulocytosis, or both. All had morphological evidence of myelodysplasia on examination of bone marrow aspirate but none had a detectable chromosomal abnormality. These patients seem to provide evidence of a separate entity within the spectrum of myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative disease.
