Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is characterized by total or partial deficiency of membrane proteins anchored to the cell surface through a glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol (GPI) moiety. The relationship between the size of the PNH clone, determined by the expression of GPI-anchored proteins

## Abstract Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a debilitating and lifeβthreatening disease in which lysis of PNH red blood cells frequently manifests with chronic hemolysis, anemia, and thrombosis. Renal damage in PNH is associated with chronic hemosiderosis and/or microvascular thrombosi
Ninety-three (93) cases of acute leukemia were assessed using flow cytometry and cytochemistry and assigned to one of four categories: myeloid, lymphoid, biphenotypic, and non-diagnostic. In leukemias designated as ALL or AML by both methodologies, there was lineage agreement in all but 3 of 71 case
## Abstract Drugβinduced thrombocytopenia is a challenging diagnosis in the clinical practice because of the many drugs or alternative causes that may be implicated. Exact identification of such drug(s) is required to guide future management and avoid reβexposure. We describe two cases of isolated
