Bone marrow failure

Bone marrow failure includes a heterogeneous group of diseases characterised by the failure of the hematopoietic function (blood production), leading to the inappropriate production of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

Bone marrow failures can be quantitative (on account of a decrease in the number), or qualitative (on account of producing anomalous cells:  bone marrow dysplasia) and can affect one, two or all three hematopoietic cell lines, giving rise to mono-, bi-, or pancytopenia, respectively.
