Ii. Vangameren et al., PYRIDOXIN-RESPONSIVE ANEMIA IN A PATIENT WITH A HISTORY OF POLYCYTHEMIA-VERA, Journal of internal medicine, 242(1), 1997, pp. 79-81
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.
