title: [Major pancytopenia in Biermer disease. 5 cases].
abstract: Five cases of Biermer's disease presenting as pancytopenia were observed over a 17-year period. In all cases, haemorrhagic and/or infectious complications occurred. The myelogram revealed qualitative medullary deficiency and laboratory data led to diagnosis. The importance of prompt substitutive therapy is underlined.
