Dr. Renuga S. , Dr. Puvitha R. D.

Abstract :

Pancytopenia is defined as reduction of all the three formed elements of blood below the normal reference range. Various studies are available in literature, reported aplastic anemia as the commonest cause of pancytopenia. Studies done in developing nations like India had revealed megaloblastic anemia as the commonest cause of pancytopenia. Aim and objectives: The aim of our study is to find out the incidence, various causes of pancytopenia and to do clinicopathological correlations. Materials and methods: Patient selection was based on clinical features and supported by laboratory evidence. The relevant clinico–hematological parameters, physical examination, Blood film, bone marrow and trephine biopsy were examined by a panel of pathologists and recorded. Results: The mean age of incidence was 39.5 years, comparatively high in women. Megaloblastic anemia was the most common cause of pancytopenia in our study group. Conclusion: Detailed primary haematological investigations along with bone marrow examination in cytopenic patients is helpful, for better understanding of the disease process and very much useful in planning further investigations and management of cytopenic patients
