background& objectives: inspite of intensive worldwide efforts to reduce its transmission, malaria remains the most serious and widespread protozoal infection of humans. it is a protozoan disease transmitted by the bite of infected female anopheles mosquito. malaria has long featured prominently in the grey area between parasitology and hematology. this study has been performed to evaluate ...

conclusions helicobacter pylori infection has a significant effect on platelet count in patients with citp and h. pylori eradication therapy should be considered as an important factor in platelet count recovery in citp patients. results from a total of 23 patients with citp, 43% (10) of the cases were h. pylori positive and after eradication therapy, eight patients (80%) were successfully trea...

Thrombocytopenia detected during pregnancy addresses the issue of its mechanism and of the possible occurrence of neonatal thrombocytopenia. To further investigate these issues, 50 women referred to us because of thrombocytopenia detected during pregnancy (platelet count, <150 x 10(9)/L), were extensively studied, as well as their offspring. Among these thrombocytopenic women, we used the thres...

The possible pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for the production of acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenic purpura (AATP) were investigated in a group of patients with this disorder. Absence of megakaryocytes and small platelet glycoprotein-bearing mononuclear cells, as determined by immunochemical staining of patient marrows with an antisera to platelet glycoproteins, suggested that the ...
