Abstract：
:Diagnostic bone marrow aspiration, biopsy, and culture are useful procedures in the evaluation of patients with suspected or proven acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) who are febrile. In as many as one fourth of these patients, the information provided by the bone marrow examination may establish a diagnosis of a disseminated opportunistic infection when other studies are not informative. We have also discovered a previously unreported association between thrombocytopenia and the presence of bone marrow granulomas in our patients with AIDS and suggest that thrombocytopenia may be a clue to enable the clinician to predict a positive bone marrow result more accurately. The explanation for this apparent association remains to be elucidated.
