Some are related to bone marrow failure caused by toxins (Bone Marrow with no cells or low cells). Bone marrow may be infiltrated by malignant and foreign cells or bone marrow fibrosis. Genetics factor and geographical disease could be also a factor in different distribution of pancytopenic etiology.
Materials and Methods: All patients with pancytopenia from 1373 to 1381 who were admitted to Army 501 hospital were evaluated. All hospital documents were evaluated. 188 patients had pancytopenia were diagnosed.
