heal.abstract	A case of adult osteopetrosis Type I was diagnosed in a 22-year-old female. She presented for investigation of anaemia with 'myelophthisic' characteristics and extramedullary haemopoiesis which was resistant to haematinics, nandrolone and low-dose corticosteroids. She became progressively transfusion-dependent with gradually worsening thrombocytopenia. She was successfully treated with recombinant erythropoietin. Anaemia as well as thrombocytopenia were corrected. There appeared to be a synergistic action of erythropoietin with steroids.	en
