Acquired von Willebrand disease as a cause of recurrent mucocutaneous bleeding in primary thrombocythemia: relationship with platelet count.

On both occasions an acquired functional von Willebrand factor deficiency was demonstrated. In contrast to what is reported in the literature, an inverse relationship between platelet number and plasma high-molecular-weight multimers of von Willebrand factor was established.
