Title: The pancytopenia of isovaleric acidemia. Author: Kelleher JF, Yudkoff M, Hutchinson R, August CS, Cohn RM. Journal: Pediatrics; 1980 May; 65(5):1023-7. PubMed ID: 7367115. Abstract: Severe pancytopenia developed in two infants with isovaleric acidemia. Previous reports indicate these hematologic abnormalities are a leading cause of death in affected infants. Our findings suggest that the pancytopenia may be due to arrested maturation of hematopoietic precursors. Prompt transfusion of appropriate blood components prevented complications due to the hematologic abnormalities.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
