Abstract

Transient Myeloproliferative Disorder (TMD), an important hematological disorder, seen in newborns with Down syndrome, is often self-limiting and spontaneous remission within 3 months. Leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, the presence of cutanoz noduls and blasts in the peripheral blood are characteristic findings. We presented a TMD case of newborn with Down syndrome and wanted to emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and therapy of these patients
