Hepatitis C virus-related thrombocytopenia: clinical and laboratory characteristics compared with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

abstract：:Human megakaryocytes have been isolated from marrow obtained from ribs removed at thoracotomy. All but one of the patients had normal pre-operative platelet and leucocyte counts. Megakaryocytes averaged 0.37% of all cells in marrow cell suspensions from nine consecutive subjects. A 283-fold purification (to 10.3%) was...
