PancytopeniaPancytopenia is a medical condition in which there is a reduction in the number of red and white blood cells, as well as platelets. Pancytopenia is generally due to diseases affecting the bone marrow, although peripheral destruction of all lines of blood cells in hypersplenism is a recognised cause. Bone marrow problems causing pancytopenia include myelofibrosis, leukemia, aplastic anemia, and the malignant form of osteoporosis.Chemotherapy for malignancies may also cause pancytopenia, if the drug or drugs used cause bone marrow suppression. Increasingly, HIV is itself a cause for pancytopenia.Rarely, drugs can cause pancytopenia.Pancytopenia usually requires a bone marrow biopsy in order to distinguish among different causes.
