title: Peripheral blood findings in chronic myeloproliferative disorders.
abstract: Chronic myeloproliferative disorders are now frequently detected on routine total blood count. A careful analysis of PB smears allows the diagnosis in many cases, and helps to classify most of them. The peripheral blood parameters may be of prognostic value, especially in AMM. During the follow-up of CMPD, modifications of the PB are of great interest to detect an evolution toward a myelofibrosis or a blastic phase.
