Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection: A heterogeneous entity requiring a high index of suspicion for diagnosis.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Immature platelet fraction (IPF) is a parameter for reticulated platelets. A high percentage IPF (%-IPF) is indicative of consumptive or recovering thrombocytopenic disorders in contrast to a low %-IPF seen in aplastic states. Absolute IPF (A-IPF) specifically reflects the number of immature platelets in c...
