Abstract
Five alcoholic patients had rebound thrombocytosis after withdrawal of alcohol. This rebound thrombocytosis was not always preceded by thrombocytopenia at admission. Two patients had a history of unexplained recurrent venous thrombosis and recurrent pulmonary embolism. It is suggested that recurrent rebound thrombocytosis after alcohol abuse can be a factor in the pathogenesis of thromboembolic disease in some patients.Entities:
