Abstract Unexplained blood cytopenias, in particular anemia, are often found older individuals. The relationship between these cytopenias and myeloid neoplasms like myelodysplastic syndromes is currently poorly defined. Terminology used to describe patients with unexplained clonally restricted hematopoiesis can be confusing evolving. This review uses a complex clinical case borderline morpholog...

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of aplastic anemia (AA) preceding autoantibody-negative autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) with successful treatment of both conditions with the same immunosuppressive regimen, resulting in hematopoietic reconstitution and remission of AIH.

Experiments are reported upon young rhesus monkeys which were given a diet essentially the same as the Goldberger black tongue-producing diet, supplemented in various ways. Those receiving the unsupplemented diet developed the syndrome characterized by leucopenia, anemia, gingivitis, diarrhea, and death, which has been previously described in monkeys receiving our diet of refined foodstuffs. An...

This study describes the outcome of patients receiving haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to treat severe refractory autoimmune cytopenia. The registry of the European Group of Blood and Marrow Transplantation holds data on 36 patients receiving 38 transplants, the first transplant was autologous for 27 and allogeneic for nine patients. Patients had autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (a...
