Abstract

Pancytopenia is characterised by anaemia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. The common causes of
pancytopenia in children are acute leukemia, nutritional deficiency anaemia, aplastic anaemia, bone marrow
suppression (by drugs and various infections etc) and myelophthisic anaemia. Complete examination of the
patient along with routine haematological investigation is very important in establishing the various causes
of pancytopenia.

Keywords: Pancytopenia, Megaloblastic anaemia, Acute leukemia, Hypoplastic marrow.
