Abstract

The investigation of the bone marrow and the bone marrow biopsy is one of the most valuable diagnostic tools for evaluating hematologic disorders. Furthermore, bone marrow analysis has great importance in the evaluation of non-hematologic conditions. Various chemical toxins, including minerals, as well as radiation may severely affect the bone marrow cells and stroma. In patients with fever of unknown origin (FUO), among others in patients with autoimmune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), the marrow may reveal various microorganisms, such as leishmaniosis, tuberculosis, and fungal as well as viral infections.
