Results of clinical, hematological and erythrocyte enzyme studies on 19 cases in 15 families with pyruvate kinase deficiency are presented. The study revealed that there are several different PK variants. In two cases, marked reticulocytosis associated with decreased red cell life span became apparent after splenectomy. The implication of this together with mechanisms of hemolysis in PK deficiency is discussed.
