    We analyzed 18 cases of RARS-T. All patients had thrombocytosis (platelet count, 515-1,100 × 10(3)/μL [515-1,100 × 10(9)/L]) and anemia (hemoglobin level, 7.2-12.6 g/dL [72-126 g/L]). Three patients had mild leukocytosis (WBC count, 3,900-16,300/μL [3.9-16.3 × 10(9)/L]). Ring sideroblasts were...
