We describe a patient with post-essential thrombocythaemia myelofibrosis treated with intermittent hydroxyurea (Hu) therapy (20 mg/Kg, given as a single dose, thrice weekly), achieving sustained disease control and regression of bone marrow fibrosis. Additionally, we discuss the efficacy of and rationale for use of intermittent Hu therapy in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms, including those deemed to be Hu-resistant or intolerant to the commonly used continuous therapy.
