Rapid reduction of platelet count in essential hemorrhagic thrombocythemia by discontinuous flow plateletpheresis.

Dramatic reduction of the platelet count by discontinuous flow plateletpheresis was achieved safely and swiftly in a patient with essential hemorrhagic thrombocythemia. The patient had a history of thrombo-occlusive arterial disease and on admission had gastrointestinal bleeding. This technic is recommended as an effective means of rapidly controlling marked increase in the platelet count and its consequences in the interval before chemotherapy becomes effective.

LAP negative and Ph1-positive hemorrhagic thrombocythemia.

Cytochemical and cytogenetic studies were carried out in 4 patients with chronic myeloproliferative disorders. These corresponded only partially to the clinical and hematologic criteria for the diagnosis of hemorrhagic thrombocythemia (HT), yet with a low leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) level and in the presence of the Ph1 positive 46, XX, mitoses. The authors discuss the significance of the presence of the Ph1 chromosome as well as the possibility of transition forms among chronic myeloproliferative disorders.
