Hemorrhagic thrombocythemia; control of postsplenectomy thrombocytosis with melphalan.
Hemorrhagic thrombocythemia is a relatively well-defined myeloproliferative disease in which the major abnormality is the excessive production of megakaryocytes and platelets. In its natural evolution acute and chronic bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, thromboembolic phenomena, gastric and esophageal varices, and infarction atrophy of the spleen are the important clinical features.

متن کاملReactive thrombocytosis in children.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the causes of thrombocytosis, which was defined as a platelet count greater than 500 x 10(9)/L, and to compare the groups with mild and severe thrombocytosis. A total of 484 patients were evaluated for the etiology of thrombocytosis. Patients with a platelet count between 500-800 x 10(9)/L were considered to have mild thrombocytosis, while those with a coun...
متن کاملReactive thrombocytosis in pulmonary tuberculosis.
The incidence of reactive thrombocytosis in active pulmonary tuberculosis was studied in 122 patients. Thrombocytosis was common, platelet counts often exceeding 1 X 10(12)/1. A significant inverse correlation was noted between the mean platelet volume and the platelet count (r = -0.54, p less than 0.0001). Interval estimation suggested that this relation was non-linear. Further studies were do...
متن کاملReactive thrombocytosis leading to acute myocardial infarction.
Thrombocytosis is defined as platelet count of > 600000. An elevated platelet count may be primarily (essential) or secondary (reactive). Acute myocardial infarction and other vaso-occlusive phenomenon are seen in less than 5% of the patients of reactive thrombocytosis. Here we report such a case. A 49 yr old lady presented with chest pain and had isolated right ventricular infarction that prog...
متن کاملDengue fever associated with extreme reactive thrombocytosis
Dengue is an important viral illness which has the potential to progress into dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Leucopenia and throm-bocytopenia are the hallmarks of acute dengue which normalise with recovery [1]. Progression from thrombo-cytopenia to severe thrombocytosis is uncommon. We describe a patient presenting with acute dengue, who developed extreme reactiv...
