Abstract
Pancytopenia in the course of polycythaemia vera (PV) following the pr oliferative and stable phase, ultimately leads to a spent phase charac terized by extensive marrow fibrosis. We describe a patient with a his tory of PV and pancytopenia caused by myelodysplasia, before a genuine end stage myelofibrosis had occurred. The related anaemia was respons ive to pyridoxin.
