Anemia associated with a slight increase in mean corpuscular volume and depressed reticulocyte counts was observed. |
The ability of the bone marrow to respond to ribavirin induced hemolysis in the face of multiple bone marrow suppressive drug therapies should be monitored by the reticulocyte response. |
Slight decreases in red blood cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and reticulocyte indices were observed in high dose monkeys treated for 9 months. |
Peak reticulocyte response was observed 4 to 5 days post-injection. |
The reticulocyte rate increased significantly in the females of this group. |
The reticulocyte count measures the number of immature red blood cells being produced. |
