Microfilariae in bone marrow aspiration smears, correlation with marrow hypoplasia: a report of six cases
Indian J Pathol Microbiol.

Abstract
Microfilariae have been reported in various cytological preparations, however there are very few case reports describing microfilariae in bone marrow aspirates. We report six such cases with the interesting finding of marrow hypoplasia in five of these cases.
