The morphological features of bone marrow aspiration biopsies performed at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital from 1997 to 1999 (3 years) on 24 anaemic @entity791 @entity1 (Table i) were retrospectively reviewed. The marrow was normocellular in 7(29.2%) cases and hypocellular in 17(70.8%) cases. Erythropoiesis was normoblastic in 5(20.8%) cases, micronormoblastic in 8(33.3%) cases and @entity8117 in 11(45.8%) cases. All of the 8(33.3%) cases with micronormoblastic erythropoiesis had no stainable @entity68 stores while the remaining 16(66.7%) cases with either normoblastic or @entity8117 erythropoiesis had increased stainable @entity68 stores. Myelopoiesis was sequential in all cases studied. Megakaryocytes were adequate in all cases. @entity1141 in the form of cytoplasmic vacuolations affecting both erythroid and myeloid precursors was seen in 4(16.7%) cases. Lymphocytes counts were normal in 17(70.8%) cases and increased in 7(29.2%) cases. Plasma cells were increased in all cases. Haemophagocytosis was seen in only 1(4.2%) case. Of the 24 cases studied. 10 and 14 cases had positive and negative history of @entity2755 ingestion respectively and the cases with positive history of the drug ingestion had significantly higher frequency (90%) of @entity236 as compared to the lower frequency of 51.7% seen among cases with negative history of @entity2755 ingestion. These marrow features were thought to reflect the combined effect of @entity3147 and drug ( @entity2755 ) in a background state of advanced @entity102 due to @entity791 .
