Abstract

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by persistent elevation in platelet count. It is a rare disorder in children, and children who have symptoms require treatment. We report the successful use of anagrelide, with few toxic effects, in the treatment of three children with ET.
