Felderbauer P, Ritter PR, Mattern D, Schmitz F, Bulut K, Ansorge N, Schmitt-Graeff A, Schmidt WE, Baier JE. Acquired pure megakaryocytic aplasia: a separate haematological disease entity or a syndrome with multiple causes? Eur J Haematol 2004: 72: 451–454. © Blackwell Munksgaard 2004. We report the case of a patient with acquired pure megakaryocytic aplasia. Until today, less than 20 cases of acquired pure megakaryocytic aplasia have been reported and the disease aetiology still seems to be unclear. This report summarizes the published data concerning possible aetiologies, treatment options and outcome of patients with acquired pure megakaryocytic aplasia. Furthermore, this case report presents an example for a possible disease progression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
