- Abstract
The article reports research findings on leukemia. The author summarizes the experiments and case studies that there is an increase in the megakaryocyte colony growth by the addition of alemtuzumab in patients with acquired amegakaryotic thrombocytopenic purpura. He concludes that lymphocytes supress megakaryopoiesis and alemtuzumb helps in the treatment of other thrombocytopenias.
