Abstract

The history of the development of the understanding of the natural history of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) illustrates the interaction between basic science and clinical problems. Through application of the knowledge obtained in the laboratory, a better understanding of the clinical problems has been achieved.
