Second malignancies in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia: possible association with human papilloma virus.

abstract：:Hydroxyurea increases fetal haemoglobin in many patients with sickle cell anaemia, but its effectiveness in thalassaemia appears to be less consistent. We describe the response to hydroxyurea in an adult male with homozygous beta thalassaemia, symptomatic paraspinal extramedullary haemopoiesis, bone pain, and progress...
