Pancytopenia

Reactive bone marrow plasmacytosis occurs in association with a variety of conditions, such as chronic infections, autoimmune diseases, connective tissue and chronic granulomatous disorders, diabetes mellitus, hypersensitivity states, drug-related agranulocytosis, iron deficiency, megaloblastic and hemolytic anemia, hemopoietic and non-hemopoietic malignant diseases, angio-immunoblastic lymphadenopathy, and multicentric Castleman’s disease .In such reactive cases, Plasma Cells (PCs) usually account for 10%-20% of cells in bone marrow trephine biopsy sections and rarely exceed 50%. Chest X-ray and thorax Computed Tomography (CT) showed evidence of pneumonic infiltrate in the left lower lobe. After blood, urine, and sputum cultures were obtained, the patient was treated with imipenem 5 μg/kg/day for febrile neutropenia and Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF). Bone marrow aplasia associated with prominent atypical plasma cell proliferation (96% of all nucleated cells exhibited transient pancytopenia) and hypoplastic bone marrow.

The journals provide forum and motivates scientists, researchers, academics, engineers, and practitioners in all aspects to share their professional and academic knowledge in the fields computing, engineering, humanities, economics, social sciences, management, medical science, and related disciplines. Online Journals also aims to reach a large number of readers worldwide with original and current research work completed on the vital issues of the above important disciplines. The journals permit all readers to read, view, download and print the full-text of all published articles without any subscription or restrictions.
