1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Febrile conditions are often associated with increased platelet turnover and refractoriness to platelet transfusions, although several pyrogenic cytokines enhance thrombopoiesis. This study aimed to characterize the effects of experimental human endotoxemia on platelet turnover and thrombopoiesis.
