Hematological abnormalities are very common in the course of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Myelofibrosis is a bone marrow disorder in which there is excessive fibrous tissue formation in the bone marrow. Various benign and malignant disorders can cause or be associated with a diffuse increase in the bone marrow reticular tissue. Some diseases such as infections, neoplasms, and autoimmune ...

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), presenting with fever, cytopenia, liver dysfunction, hepatosplenomegaly, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperferritinemia, is associated with various etiologies, including infections, collagen vascular diseases, and malignancies. The present report describes a 28-year-old woman who developed HLH combined with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) at 23 weeks of...

It is currently unknown whether immunosuppressive therapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the most appropriate treatment strategy for children with refractory cytopenia and normal karyotype or trisomy 8. We report on 31 children with hypoplastic refractory cytopenia treated with immunosuppressive therapy consisting of antithymocyte globulin and cyclosporine. At 6 months, 22 of 29 ...

Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is an uncommon nonmalignant lymphoproliferative disease which is characterized by chronic, persistent or recurrent lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, immune cytopenia , hypergammaglobinemia and increased risk of lymphoma. We report a 2-year old boy with hepatosplenomegaly as first presentation. Petechial and purpuric rashes with massive c...

Background – Metastatic carcinomas can involve bone marrow and may lead to subsequent fibrosis failure. The Bone examination is important in patients diagnosed or on chemotherapy for cancer, who presented with peripheral cytopenia. metastasis of by these tumors a sign advanced stage disease poor prognosis.
 Methods Our study retrospective study, which we reviewed total 702 procedures, out ...

Here, we briefly review how the study of dynamic hematological diseases with mathematical modeling tools has led to a better understanding of the origin of some types of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia and to improved treatment strategies. In addition, we have briefly discussed how these models suggest improved ways to minimize and/or treat cytopenia induced by chemotherapy.
