Pancytopenia is a medicalcondition in which there is a reduction in the number of redand white blood cells, as well as platelets.

Pancytopenia is generally due to diseases affecting the bone marrow, although peripheral destruction of all lines of blood cells in hypersplenism(overactive spleen) is a recognised cause. Bone marrow problems causing pancytopenia include myelofibrosis, leukemiaand aplastic anemia.

Increasingly, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is itself a cause for pancytopenia. Rarely, drugs (antibiotics, blood pressure medication, heart medication) can cause pancytopenia.

Pancytopenia usually requires a bone marrow biopsy in order to rule out and rule in the different causes.
