Diagnostic criteria for essential thrombocythemia (ET) remain essentially negative, that is, exclusion of other myeloproliferative diseases and causes of reactive thrombocytosis. A platelet count above 600x10(9)/L is still generally considered an absolute diagnostic criterion although new protocols for positive diagnostic criteria have recently been proposed, reducing the stringency of a definite platelet limit. This study demonstrates that a platelet count 600x10(9)/L is not a reliable diagnostic criterion for ET, especially in the early stages.
