Revisited indications for bone marrow examinations in HIV‐infected patients

Abstract: We reviewed the indications for and the results of bone marrow examination (BME) from HIV‐infected patients as an attempt to improve its diagnostic yield. One‐hundred‐and‐eight bone marrow specimens from 90 patients during a 3‐year period were examined. A cytological, histological and microbiological study was carried out on the specimens. Forty‐three evaluable examinations (40% of total) performed for cytopenia showed normo‐ or hypercellularity in 33 (77%). Fifty bone marrow specimens were cultured for mycoba… Show more

“…Several authors have previously compared the clinical and laboratory findings of HIV patients with diagnostic vs. nondiagnostic bone marrow biopsies, in an attempt to identify predictive features. Some concluded that a bone marrow biopsy is most diagnostic in patients where fever and cytopenias coexist rather than either fever or cytopenias alone (Ciaudo, Doco‐Lecompte & Guettier, 1994; Brook et al. , 1997; Karstaedt et al.…”

“…Varios estudios han evaluado posibles predictores clínicos y paraclínicos asociados al resultado positivo del estudio de médula ósea en el paciente con VIH (2,4,5,13,18).Van Schalkwyk W y cols. ( 13) encontraron que un recuento de neutrófilos < 0.5 x 10 9 /L, nivel de hemoglobina < 6 g/dL y un diagnóstico previo de tuberculosis fueron las condiciones asociadas con un diagnóstico nuevo en el estudio de médula ósea (13).…”

“…El estudio histopatológico de médula ósea en nuestro estudio reportó presencia de granulomas en cuatro casos, correspondiente a 4.8% del total de biopsias realizadas, que difiere de las cifras reportadas por otros investigadores (5,13). El bajo porcentaje de identificación de granulomas en la muestra evaluada podría estar asociado en su mayor parte a un mayor grado de inmunosupresión en esta población, en la que no sería posible evidenciar los granulomas que requieren un mejor estado inmunológico para su formación.…”
