“…What are the reasons for the bone marrow hypocellularity? Not all authors believe that there is a direct relationship between MTB and pancytopenia [9], There is little controversy that direct TB involvement of the bone marrow is responsible for pancytopenia [10], Both bone marrow suppression with extreme hypoccllularity and dysplastic changes with hypercellularity may be observed in disseminated TB and pancytopenia [6]. In our case, we were unable to show the bacilli in an acid-fast stain or on culture, nor did we detect dysplastic changes.…”

In a patient who presented with fever, weight loss and abdominal swelling, blood counts revealed pancytopenia. Broad-spectrum empirical antibiotic treatment was started because of neutropenic fever, but without effect. The bone marrow was hypocellular with an increase in fat droplets. Peritoneoscopy was performed to evaluate ascites; in the liver biopsy specimen caseous granulomas were seen and the patient was found to suffer from miliary tuberculosis. Antituberculous therapy was begun and the patient recovered completely and the haematological parameters returned to normal.

“…In patients with myeloproliferative diseases, 'atypical' ('anonymous') mycobacteria may produce disseminated lesions or illness resembling malignant lymphoma, or may cause anemia or leukopenia (Kilbridge et al 1967, Zamorano & Tompsett 1968. Mycobacterium tuberculosis may be the cause of fatal, widespread lesions in patients suffering from malignant lymphoma or leukxemia.…”
