Bone marrow examination is important for hematologic diagnosis. A complete blood count and blood smear can provide initial information, but a bone marrow aspirate and biopsy are often needed to fully evaluate blood cell production and detect abnormalities. Examining bone marrow samples under a microscope can help identify issues with red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets and potentially diagnose conditions like anemia, infection, or cancer.

2. Bone Marrow Interpretation for Hematologic Diagnosis
Ways to approach a hematologic diagnosis:
CBC
 Leukocyte differential
microscopic blood smear
 bone marrow aspirate
 bone marrow biopsy
