[Megakaryocytopoiesis in patients with acute infectious destruction of the lungs]

Partial megakaryocytograms were studied in patients with acute infectious destructions of the lungs. Acid phosphatase and glycogen megakaryocytic levels, overall number of megakaryocytes elucidated the role of the central link of the system megakaryocyte--platelet in the onset of thromboembolism and hemorrhagic complications arising in the above patients. Inefficiency of megakaryocytopoiesis in pulmonary and pleural acute pyo-destructions is under discussion.
