Myelodysplastic syndromes and idopathic thrombocytopenia have an overlap because they share viral infections

Myelodysplastic syndromes and idopathic thrombocytopenia have an overlap because they share viral infections: the EBV virus and flaviviruses.

Co-carcinogenesis : Rous' hypothesis requires a virus and a carcinogen together to start cancer.
Autoimmune cross-targeting has a virus marking the inside of cells for immune attack.

Note that benzene alone, with no the virus there, would inhibit polymerases causing stunted cell division thus anemia.

Autoimmune cross-targeting hypothesis:  the layering of 2 different infections on one target triggers autoimmune disease.  A viral infection marking the inside of the target then a bacterial, or fungal, or mycobacteria, spirochete infection marking the outside.

Idopathic thrombocytopenia is a spirochete and a flavivirus or a flu virus or EBV
