Overview
Waldenström's macroglobulinemia was first discovered by Jan G. Waldenström, a Swedish physician in 1944.[1]
Historical Perspective
- Waldenström's macroglobulinemia was first discovered by Jan G. Waldenström, a Swedish oncologist in 1944.
- Two of the patients presented with bleeding from the nose and mouth, anemia, decreased levels of fibrinogen in the blood (hypofibrinogenemia), swollen lymph nodes, neoplastic plasma cells in bone marrow, and increased viscosity of the blood due to increased levels of a class of heavy proteins called macroglobulins.[1]
