Alpha interferon treatment of essential thrombocythaemia and other myeloproliferative disorders with excessive thrombocytosis
The effect of recombinant interferon alfa-2b on platelet count, thrombocytosis-associated symptoms and marrow fibrosis was studied in 18 patients with myeloproliferative diseases and associated thrombocytosis (nine with essential thrombocythaemia, three with polycythaemia vera, three with myelofibrosis and three with chronic myelogenous leukaemia). A reduction of the platelet count below 600 × 109/L was achieved in 94%, and below 400 × 109/L in 77% of the patients within 8 to 330 days of treatment. The selective thrombocytosis-reducing effect of alpha interferon was maintained for long periods of time in most patients without serious side effects. Thrombocytosis-associated symptoms were relieved once the number of platelets was reduced to near normal levels. Marrow reticulin content was found to be reduced after treatment in two of the seven patients studied. Side effects of alpha interferon were flu-like symptoms, which usually subsided within 7 days of treatment.
