  • Title: Transient histiocytosis with striking phagocytosis of platelets, leukocytes, and erythrocytes.
    Author: Chandra P, Chaudhery SA, Rosner F, Kagen M.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1975 Jul; 135(7):989-91. PubMed ID: 1156059.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of infection (miliary tuberculosis and a presumed viral infections) are described in which phagocytosis of erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets by reticuloendothelial cells was a prominent feature in bone marrow aspirates, associated with a clinical picture of fever, anemia, malaise, and hepatosplenomegaly. All these findings were "transient," and disappeared on treatment of the underlying infection.
