van Gameren II, Wijnja L, Louwes H, de Wolf JTHM (Martini Hospital and University Hospital, Groningen, The Netherlands). Pyridoxin‐responsive anaemia in a patient with a history of polycythaemia vera (Case Report). J Intern Med 1997; 242 : 79–81. Pancytopenia in the course of polycythaemia vera (PV) following the proliferative and stable phase, ultimately leads to a spent phase characterized by extensive marrow fibrosis. We describe a patient with a history of PV and pancytopenia caused by myelodysplasia, before a genuine end stage myelofibrosis had occurred. The related anaemia was responsive to pyridoxin.
