Spectrum and frequency of autoimmune derangements in lymphoproliferative disorders: analysis of 637 cases and comparison with myeloproliferative diseases.

abstract：:In 1997, the Italian Ministry of Health created a special programme for the controlled distribution of deferiprone to collect data and to evaluate its safety and effectiveness in long-term use. Five hundred and thirty-two thalassaemia patients from 86 treatment centres were enrolled in this programme. One hundred and ...
