POLYCYTHAEMIA VERA AND CHRISTMAS DISEASE WITH SLIGHTLY PROLONGED PROTHROMBIN TIME
Abstract
A family is reported in which Christmas disease in one member and polycythaemia in another were associated with prolongations of the one-stage prothrombin time of the factor-VII deficiency type.
Changes in the prothrombin time were present in the siblings of the case of Christmas disease and in a number of unrelated cases of polycythaemia vera.
The use of “mixing procedures” did not reveal any significant mutual correction of the changes in prothrombin time.
