We report a case of a bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy (BMATB) associated haematoma in an 85-years old male without any predisposing risk factors. Six days after BMATB, he suffered from a massive thigh and buttock haematoma and a fall in haematocrit. It is important to know that BMATB can have complications aiding early recognition and therapy.

Objectives: The main adverse effect of deferiprone is the development of neutropenia, which occurs via an unknown mechanism. We aimed to gain insight into the pathogenesis of deferiprone-induced neutropenia by assessing the peripheral blood haematopoietic progenitor cells.
Methods: Sixteen patients with beta thalassaemia were studied; nine (Group A) were receiving desferrioxamine and seven (Group B) deferiprone.
