The Platelet Ultrastructure in Preleukemia

  • Conference paper
Preleukemia

Abstract

As already reported by some authors we could see in some cases of aplastic anemia distinct changes in platelet ultrastructure. Investigations of platelet ultrastructure by means of common electronmicroscopic methods is possible with platelet counts as low as 10 000/μl. The morphological changes of the platelets (anisocytosis, hypo- or agranular platelets, prominent channel system, abundant dense tubular system, myelin-like figures, features of immaturity) can be used for diagnosis and differentiation of preleukemic states.
