Abstract:
The systemic rheumatic diseases are commonly complicated by hematologic abnormalities. Five frequently encountered and clinically relevant complications are reviewed. They include the anemia of chronic disease, neutropenia, autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura, the lupus inhibitor, and hematologic malignancies. The pathophysiology and treatment of each of these conditions are discussed in this review.
