ITP indicates immune thrombocytopenic purpura; NHL, non-Hodgkin lymphoma; HD, Hodgkin disease; ATP, amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenic purpura.

Ages were 61.9 ± 17.1 and 60.6 ± 17.4 years for LGw/oRS patients and controls, respectively, in the first cohort and 74.9 ± 8.6 and 61.1 ± 15.1 years for LGw/oRS patients and controls, respectively, in the second cohort.

*

First cohort: 3 congestive heart failure, 2 carcinoma without BM invasion (1 lung cancer, 1 pancreatic cancer), 1 fever of unknown origin, 1 undefined inflammation. Second cohort: 1 sarcoidosis, 1 rheumatoid arthritis, 1 pyoderma gangrenosum.

Patients who had marginal cytopenia or neutrophilia and were judged to be healthy after examination.

Seven marginal cytopenias and 1 physiologic.
