We conducted this study with the objective of comparing the accuracy of BMA with BMB in the diagnosis of various hematological disorders.

- Aspergillus is a common cause of invasive fungal infections, particularly in patients with weakened immune systems.
- A case study is presented of a 62-year-old man who, after sustaining severe injuries, was hospitalized but ultimately died weeks later, leading to an autopsy.
