The frequency of bone marrow involvement in patients with lymphosarcoma (LSA) and the particular value of the marrow biopsy, as compared with the aspiration smear technique, in the initial staging of this disease were investigated. Certain physical findings and laboratory studies were analyzed to determine whether the presence of marrow invasion could be predicted. Of 75 patients, 47 (63#{176}/...

Background: Pancytopenia is a Clinico-hematological entity, characterized by triad of Anemia, leucopenia, and thrombocytopenia. The criterion for defining HGB < 9 g/dl: ANC 1.5 x 109/L platelet count <100 109/L. main objective this study to categorize pediatric pancytopenia’s on etiological basis the age wise incidence.

Objective The utility of detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis in urine samples from patients with pulmonary tuberculous with diffuse small nodular shadows (suspected miliary tuberculosis (MTB)) is still unclear in Japan. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the detection rates of M. tuberculosis in urine of patients with suspected MTB. Methods Among 687 hospitalize...

The bone marrow aspiration test conventionally has been performed by visual methods, using a light microscope, because automatic blood cell analyzers cannot adequately capture erythroblasts and immature granulocytes (IGs) (Tatsumi et al.: Osaka City Med J 1988;34:135-146; Tatsumi et al.: Am J Clin Pathol 1986;86:50-54). With the development of the XE-2100 automatic blood cell analyzer (Sysmex C...

A simple method for rapid point-counting of bone marrow biopsies is described; the method gave an accurate assessment of cellularity in 100 aspiration biopsy specimens. Measurements of marrow cellularity by the visual point-counting technique correlated well with those obtained with a Quantimet 720 image-analysing computer.

We hereby report a 79-year-old Iranian man presenting with nail dystrophy and subsequent development of purpuric and ecchymotic plaques, hemorrhagic bullae, and infiltrated papules on the head, neck and trunk. Histological examination of the gingiva, bone marrow aspiration, and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of primary systemic amyloidosis. In this case, nail dystrophy was the presenting sign o...
