Abstract
Pancytopenia is characterised by anaemia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. The common causes of pancytopenia in children are acute leukemia, nutritional deficiency anaemia, aplastic anaemia, bone marrow suppression (by drugs and various infections etc) and myelophthisic anaemia. Complete examination of the patient along with routine haematological investigation is very important in establishing the various causes of pancytopenia. Keywords: Pancytopenia, Megaloblastic anaemia, Acute leukemia, Hypoplastic marrow.
