Abstract
- Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a group of hematopoietic disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis and peripheral cytopenia associated with dysplastic hypercellular marrow. Anemia is a frequent finding and reticulocytes are usually normal or slightly decreased in the patients with MDS. "Pseudoreticulocytosis" is a rare abnormality of patients with MDS. In these patients, the delayed maturation of reticulocytes is revealed and unusual reticulocytosis occurs with the decreased red cell production. We report a case of MDS characterized by the anemia associated with high reticulocyte count. 'In vitro reticulocyte survival test' showed that the reticulocytosis was a consequence of delayed maturation.
