BACKGROUND: @entity3043 is a relatively common hematological entity. It is a striking feature of many serious and life-threatening illnesses, ranging from simple drug-induced @entity236 , @entity417 to fatal @entity236 and @entity1778 . The severity of @entity3043 and the underlying pathology determine the management and prognosis. Thus, identification of the correct cause will help in implementing appropriate therapy. OBJECTIVES: To study the clinical presentations in @entity3043 due to various causes; and to evaluate hematological parameters, including @entity236 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: It was a prospective study, and 104 pancytopenic @entity1 were evaluated clinically, along with hematological parameters and @entity236 in Hematology Unit, Department of Pathology, JJMMC, Davanagere, during the period of September 2005 to September 2007. RESULTS: Among 104 cases studied, age of @entity1 ranged from 2 to 80 years with a mean age of 41 years, and male predominance. Most of the @entity1 presented with generalized weakness and @entity221 . The commonest physical finding was pallor, followed by @entity381 and @entity382 . @entity417 was the predominant blood picture. @entity236 was conclusive in all cases. The commonest marrow finding was hypercellularity with @entity8117 erythropoiesis. The commonest cause for @entity3043 was @entity417 (74.04%), followed by @entity2150 (18.26%). CONCLUSION: Thepresent study concludes that detailed primary hematological investigations along with @entity236 in cytopenic @entity1 are helpful for understanding disease process and to diagnose or to rule out the causes of @entity1503 . These are also helpful in planning further investigations and management.
