Abstract
BACKGROUND: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare and acquired hematopoietic stem cell disease, with florid clinical presentations. Although this disease has been characterized in the western countries, its clinical and laboratory features in Taiwan have not yet been reported. RESULTS: < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first systematic review on the Taiwanese PNH patients. Our analysis would provide key information about our PNH patients and would help understanding the basic characteristics of this rare disease in Taiwan.
