MYD88 wild-type Waldenstrom Macroglobulinaemia: differential diagnosis, risk of histological transformation, and overall survival.

abstract：:Chronic ITP is due to antibody-induced destruction of platelets by the reticuloendothelial (RE) system. The role of complement in this process is unclear. We measured platelet-associated complement (PAC) components C3, C3bi, C4 and C9 in 16 patients with chronic ITP, in two of these patients prior to and after splenec...
