Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I: report of a pair of siblings in Japan.

This is the first case of two siblings with congenital dyserythrobpoietic anemia (CDA) type I to be reported from a Japanese family. Both of these cases showed characteristic morphological aberration of erythroid precursors, ineffective erythropoiesis, and negative acidified serum test. The ultrastructural study of erythroblasts also revealed characteristics quite compatible with CDA type I.

Prognostic aspects of aplastic anemia in pregnancy. Experience on six cases and review of the literature.

Our resent experience on six cases of aplastic anemia complicated with pregnancy is described. In addition, 43 similar cases were collected from the literature and reviewed to analyze some prognostic aspects of this relatively rare but potentially serious complication. Clinical and hematological data were treated to extract some clinically meaningful factors in relation to the success and failure of pregnancy. Among initial hematological parameters, no significant difference was found between successful and unsuccessful cases with an exception of hemoglobin concentration. The patients diagnosed as aplastic anemia prior to conception demonstrated an better outcome of pregnancy as well as survival rate of mother when compared with those diagnosed during pregnancy. Mortality has apparently improved after the late 1950's. Success rate of pregnancy before 1958 was 21%, while it was 67% and 71% in the era of 1959-1969 and after 1970, respectively. However, hemorrhage and infection remained to be two major causes of maternal death in both eras. Based on these observations, the currently recommendable attitude to this complication is discussed.

Erythroblast kinetics in pernicious anaemia, erythroleukaemia and sideroblastic anaemia.

DNA synthesis time (Ts) and 3H-thymidine labelling index (TLI) of erythroblasts have been determined in 25 patients with various types of haematologic disorders using in vitro double labelling method. No remarkable differences in both Ts and TLI were noted between haematologically normal subjects and patients with increased effective erythropoiesis (haemolytic anaemias), suggesting that the cell cycle time is not principally altered under the augmented erythropoiesis. In pernicious anaemia, Ts of basophilic erythroblasts was significantly shortened and TLI was elevated above normal. Normalization of erythropoiesis by vitamin B12 was associated with a transient increase of TLI in polychromatic erythroblasts, which was interpreted to reflect prevention of intramedullary premature death of basophilic megaloblasts. Erythroleukaemia showed a markedly prolonged Ts and lowered TLI indicating the presence of cells with prolonged cell cycle time. These findings contrasted to that of pernicious anaemia despite certain morphological as well as functional similarities. In idiopathic sideroblastic anaemia, prolongation of Ts was observed to a similar extent as erythroleukaemia, while TLI remained almost normal. In 2 cases with suspected erythroleukaemia presenting an intermediate clinical picture between erythroleukaemia and sideroblastic anaemia, Ts of basophilic erythroblasts was found to be prolonged along with modestly lowered TLI.
