Popis: SummaryThe involvement of platelets in the pathogenesis of erythromelalgia, a frequent and characteristic microvascular thrombotic manifestation in patients with primary thrombocythemia and polycythemia rubra vera, was investigated by measuring the survival and turnover of 51Cr labeled autologous platelets in 10 patients with thrombocythemia complicated by erythromelalgia, in 10 asymptomatic thrombocythemia patients and in 6 subjects with reactive thrombocytosis. The mean platelet survival time of the erythromelalgia patients was 4.2 ± 0.2 days, which is significantly decreased as compared with asymptomatic thrombocythemia patients (6.6 ± 0.3 days, p
