Utility of bone marrow examination (BME) in the diagnosis of pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO).

Introduction: Bone marrow examination (BME) is a useful tool in the diagnosis of haematological and non-haematological diseases. It plays an important role in early diagnosis of the underlying cause of pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) and can influence the management of patients. Bone marrow aspiration (BMA) plays a very important role in establishing a definitive diagnosis in cases of PUO.
