  2. Bone marrow failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow_failure

    Bone marrow failure in both children and adults can be either inherited or acquired. Inherited bone marrow failure is often the cause in young children, while older children and adults may acquire the disease later in life. [3] Acquired bone marrow failure may be due to aplastic anemia [4] or myelodysplastic syndrome.

  3. Myelophthisic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelophthisic_anemia

    Myelophthisic anemia (or myelophthisis) is a severe type of anemia found in some people with diseases that affect the bone marrow. Myelophthisis refers to the displacement of hemopoietic bone-marrow tissue [1] by fibrosis, tumors, or granulomas. The word comes from the roots myelo-, which refers to bone marrow, and phthisis, shrinkage or atrophy.

  4. Reticulocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reticulocytopenia

    With Parvovirus infection, bone marrow recovery typically occurs within 10 days and erythropoiesis resumes. [8] Parvovirus IgG/IgM may be obtained to assess for active infection. Patients may require IVIG or replacement of blood products during this transient bone marrow failure to reduce the chance of serious complications from the severe ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelodysplastic_syndrome

    Indicators of a poor prognosis: Advanced age; severe neutropenia or thrombocytopenia; high blast count in the bone marrow (20–29%) or blasts in the blood; Auer rods; absence of ringed sideroblasts; abnormal localization or immature granulocyte precursors in bone marrow section; completely or mostly abnormal karyotypes, or complex marrow ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow

    Bone marrow is a semi-solid tissue found within the spongy (also known as cancellous) portions of bones. [2] In birds and mammals, bone marrow is the primary site of new blood cell production (or haematopoiesis). [3] It is composed of hematopoietic cells, marrow adipose tissue, and supportive stromal cells.

  7. Bone marrow suppression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow_suppression

    Because the bone marrow is the manufacturing center of blood cells, the suppression of bone marrow activity causes a deficiency of blood cells. This condition can rapidly lead to life-threatening infection , as the body cannot produce leukocytes in response to invading bacteria and viruses , as well as leading to anaemia due to a lack of red ...

  8. Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_amegakaryocytic...

    The cause of CAMT is believed to be mutations in the MPL gene coding for thrombopoietin receptor, which is expressed in pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells and cells of the megakaryocyte lineage. [1] CAMT is diagnosed by a bone marrow biopsy and is often initially suspected to be fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. [3]

  9. Severe combined immunodeficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_combined...

    Haploidentical bone marrow transplants require the donor marrow to be depleted of all mature T cells to avoid the occurrence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). [16] Consequently, a functional immune system takes longer to develop in a patient who receives a haploidentical bone marrow transplant compared to a patient receiving a matched ...
