Aplastic anaemia was defined as pancytopenia and a hypocellular marrow at some time during the illness. Seven patients terminated with acute leukaemia, 8 developed haematological features of sideroblastic anaemia and 5 showed a red cell membrane defect commonly found in paroxysmal noctural haemoglobinuria.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Complete recovery occurred in only 4 patients; 70 others showed a partial remission with some residual haematological abnormality in peripheral blood. Eighteen of these had spontaneous remission. Remission was brief in 27 patients who died; only 32 patients remained in partial remission. Twenty-five per cent. of the patients with AA run an acute course and die within 6 months of the time of diagnosis. The remainder run a subacute or chronic course, punctuated in some cases by a transient remission, but in others by a conversion to other related haematological disorders. An acute course is suggested by a rapid onset of symptoms, a falling neutrophil count, a haemoglobin level less than 5 g\/dl and a very low platelet count. A chronic course is likely in those patients who have a slow onset of symptoms, a stable neutrophil count and a Hb level in excess of 5 g\/dl. The authors\u2019 experience shows that the disease runs either of the 2 courses irrespective of the supportive therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/pgmj.56.655.322","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,29]],"date-time":"2008-12-29T20:39:26Z","timestamp":1230583166000},"page":"322-329","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Aplastic anaemia: an analysis of 174 patients"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"M A","family":"Mir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University Department of Clinical Haematology, Manchester Royal Infirmary , Manchester M13 9WL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C G","family":"Geary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Department of Clinical Haematology, Manchester Royal Infirmary , Manchester M13 9WL"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1980,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","article-title":"Aplastic anaemia","volume":"27","author":"ADAMS, E.B.","year":"1951","unstructured":"ADAMS, E.B.
