title: [Essential thrombocythemia. Clinical case report].
abstract: Essential thrombocythemia is a rare form of proliferative myelopathy and should not be confused with secondary thrombocythemia. In view of the frequency with which an increased platelet count is recorded with the automatic hemochromogen recorder, the fundamental parameters necessary for an accurate diagnosis are summarised on the basis of a typical clinical case observed for two years.
