377. Diagnostic Yield of Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Patients with Fever and/or Cytopenia

摘要

BackgroundHuman Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) patients are at increased risk of opportunistic infections and malignancies. Evaluation for the etiology of fever and/or cytopenia with conventional means such as cultures and serology can remain negative. Bone marrow aspiration or biopsy (BMAB) has the advantage of diagnosing disseminated infections, hematological abnormalities and oncological malignancies in HIV patients.
