This anemia has been described under such titles as myelophthisic anemia,1 leuko-erythroblastic anemia,2, 3 myelosclerosis associated with a leukemoid blood picture,4 megakaryocytic myelosis with osteosclerosis,5 and, simply, a leukemoid reaction.6 The data reported in the various cases so described suggest that the underlying structural changes of the marrow were essentially sclerotic in character.During the past several years a large number of patients with anemia have been examined at the University of...Bibliography1.
