Abstract

Background and aim. Patients with acute leukaemia suffer from various haemorrhages, most frequently due to thrombocytopenia. We could not reach any information regarding the frequency of gastrointestinal bleeding in acute leukaemia and decided to search this complication in patients with acute and chronic leukaemias and myeloproliferative disorders, retrospectively.
