Abstract

Acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia is an unusual hematologic disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia in association with markedly diminished bone marrow megakaryocytes. We report a case that responded to treatment with cyclosporine but not to IL-11. The bone marrow biopsy, repeated after resolution of thrombocytopenia, showed normal number of megakaryocytes.
