Epidemiological and Cytological Profile of Pancytopenia in Hematology Laboratory of JRA University Hospital Antananarivo
Abstract
Methods: We collected all data from patients with pancytopenia over a period of 12 months (March 2013-March 2014) at hematology laboratory of CHU-JRA Antananarivo.
Results: 11843 hemograms were performed, pancytopenia accounted for 0.91% (108/11843). Eighty-three patients met the inclusion criteria of our study. The average age was 29.48 years old with extremes of 29 days and 83 years. There was a male predominance with a ratio of 1.18. Anemic syndrome is the most common clinical sign (Table 1). Hemogram study showed anemia to varying degrees. Twenty-six patients (31.32%) had a platelet count below 20G /L. Blood smear study revealed presence of blasts in 19.27% (16/83). Conclusion: Pancytopenia is fairly common circumstance in practice. Abnormalities in hemogram must involve further investigations.Keywords
