Aetiology of Pancytopenia

چکیده
Pancytopenia is a common haematological condition often encountered in day to day clinical practice. It is defined as a decrease in all the three cell lines of blood viz., red blood cells, leucocytes, and platelets. Many diseases affect production of these cells by bone marrow resulting into pancytopenia i.e., simultaneous presence of anaemia, leucopenia, and thrombocytopenia. Pancytopenia is defined as haemoglobin of < 9 gm/dl, WBC < 4,000/cmm, and platelets < 100,000/cmm. Severe pancytopenia is defined as absolute neutrophil count < 500/cmm, platelet count < 20,000/cmm, and corrected reticulocyte count < 1%.
