title: [Hereditary spherocytosis and polycythemia].
abstract: A case of hereditary spherocytosis is described in a casuistic report where the clinical picture of polycythaemia appeared 5 years after a successful splenectomy. The possibilities of a coincidence of diseases, a postsplenectomy reaction or a genuine myeloproliferative syndrome as the cause underlying a secondary disease are discussed.
