2. Bone Marrow Examination
• Bone marrow examination refers to the
pathologic analysis of sample of bone marrow
obtained by bone marrow aspiration and
bone marrow biopsy (often called Trephine
biopsy)
3. • The aspirate yields semi-liquid bone
marrow, which can be examined by
• under a light microscope
• analyzed by flow cytometry
• chromosome analysis
• polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
• Frequently, a trephine biopsy is also
obtained, which yields a narrow,
cylindrically shaped solid piece of bone
marrow which is examined microscopically
for cellularity and infiltrative processes.
8. Indication for Bone Marrow Aspirate
• To establish or conform the diagnosis of Leukemia
• To determine, if deficiency of one or more blood type in
the peripheral blood is due to deficiency of precursor in
bone marrow
• To determine the cause, if possible, of refractory
anemia especially if interference with erythrocyte
maturation is suspected (Vit.B12 and Folic acid
deficiency, lead poisoning).
• To demonstration of metastatic neoplasm
• To demonstration of certain type of infection
(histoplasmosis, toxoplasmosis)
• To demonstrate deficiency in iron store (iron deficiency
amenia)
9. Aspiration Sites
Dog: Iliac crest preferred, sternum & ribs also.
Cat: Proximal end of Femur through trochanteric fossa
Birds: Sternal ridge (keel) or tibio-tarsus.
Small Ruminants: iliac crest of hip bone & ribs.
Large Ruminants: Femur, Humerus, Sternum & Ribs.
Calf: Vertebral spines good site.
Horse: iliac crest, tuber coxea, sternum, ribs.
10. Preparation of Smear
1- Before it clots, eject the aspirate on slanted slide & make
smear.
2- Removal excess blood by capillary tube improve quality of
bone marrow smear.
3- Smear can be made immediately by fresh marrow.
4- Aspirate place in EDTA Vacutainer
5- Strains commonly used
>Wright’s Strain
>Prussian blue reaction---- For iron granules
>Peroxidase --- To diff. granulocytes from lymphocytes
12. Scheme for examining BM aspirate
At Low Power (10X)
>Determine cellularity
>Identify Megakeryocytes
>Look for Clump of Abnormal cells
>Identify Macrophage
13. .
• At high Power (40X,100X)
>Identify all Stages of maturation of M:E cells
>Determine the M:E ratio
>Perform a Diff. Count
>Look for areas of BM necrosis
>Assess the iron content
15. Cells of the bone marrow
• Erythroid series
• Myeloid series
• Megakaryocytic series
• Monocytic series
16. Erythroid series
Proerythroblast
Early erythroblast (Basophillic )
Intermediate erythroblast (Polychromatic)
Late erythroblast (Orthochromatic )
Myeloid series
Myeloblast promyelocyte myelocyte metamyelocyte band form mature
neutrophil
19. .Cellularity
1- If bone marrow particles on avg., <25% adipose tissue,
bone marrow is Hypercellular.
2- If………………………………………………., >75% ............
…………………….,……………Hypocellular.
Megakaryocyte
1- If more megakaryocytes are present then megakaryocytic
hyperplasia.
2- If less megakaryocytes are present then megakaryocytic
hypoplasia.
3- The presence of immature form of megakaryocytic series
indicate increased megakaryocyticpoiesis, usually
megakaryocytic hyperplasia.
22. .M:E (G:E) ratio
G:E ratio 1:1 means both cells are equal.
1-if G:E ratio increases means granulocyte
hyperplasia or erythrocyte hypoplasia so
animal is anemic.
2-if G:E ratio decreases means granulocyte
hypoplasia or erythrocyte hyperplasia.
23. Average of M:E ratio
Species Avg. M:E ratio
Dog 1.25
Cat 1.63
Horse 0.93
Cattle 0.71
Goat 0.63
Sheep 0.50
24. .Macrophage
Relative %age of macrophage is determined.
Incease in macrophage indicate certain
pathological processes.
Iron Content
Iron pigment in hemosiderin will range from
yellow to yellow-green to yellow-brown.
Complete assessment obtain by iron stains
> Prussian blue or Mallory stain
27. A: Hematologic Diseases
Deficiency of cell from any cell lines
Non-regenerative or Non-responding Anemia
Excessive production of Neutrophils or lymphocytes
Hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic
Presence of immature or morphologically atypical
cells in circulation
Erythrocytosis ,espacially splenic contraction or
Cardio-pulmonary disease
Thrombocytopinea
