Identification of Circulating Micromegakaryocytes in a Case of Refractory Anemia
In a case of refractory anemia with an excess of myeloblasts in the bone marrow and with thrombocytopenia, examinations of the blood cells under the electron microscope have revealed nucleated cells similar in size to small lymphocytes. Some of these lymphocytelike cells have scanty cytoplasm identical to that of giant platelets present in the blood, which re pathologic in view of their highly ...
متن کاملCirculating micromegakaryocytes in myelodysplasia.
The alkaline phosphatase-antialkaline phosphatase (APAAP) immunocytochemical staining technique was used to look for circulating cells of megakaryocyte lineage in peripheral blood smears from 67 cases of myelodysplasia. Small numbers of micromegakaryocytes positive for platelet glycoprotein IIIa were found in 23 cases. These cells superficially resemble small lymphoid cells and are hence diffic...
متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of Refractory Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura with Rituximab, a Monoclonal Antibody: a Case Report

Most patients respond to therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), ...

The warm-reactive type contains 70% to 80% of all cases, in which the first-line treatment is considered to be a steroid. Moreover, splenectomy, rituxima...
