Abstract

Bone marrow hematopoietic tissue and stromal elements were characterized histologically on iliac bone trepanobioptats from 8 HIV infected patients. Signs of dyserythropoiesis, dysgranulocytopoiesis, dysmegakaryocytosis, focal accumulations of plasmocytes lymphoid and histiocytic cells were demonstrated. Changes of hematopoietic tissue were accompanied by reorganization of stromal microenvironment. Growth of intramedullar reticuline cells quantity and decline in number of endosteal stromal cells were found.
