Abstract:
Refractory anaemia with partial myeloblastosis is classified among myelodysplasia syndromes which are characterized by abnormalities in the differentiation of haematopoietic cells, but it differs from these syndromes in that blast cells are in excess and the prognosis is darker. So far, this type of anaemia has resisted all treatment. The possibility of differentiating leukaemic cells in vitro has opened new therapeutic prospects.
