Bone marrow aplasia after high voltage electrical injury. 1984

K Szabó, and P Vér

This report describes a patient with severe high voltage electrical injury in whom bone marrow aplasia developed on post-burn day 3. In addition to bone marrow aplasia alterations suggesting disintegration of leucocytes and reduced nitro-blue tetrazolium reductase activity pointing to functional disorders have been observed. Beyond the effect of the extensive burns to depress the bone marrow the possibility of an additional similar action of the high voltage electrical injury is raised.

D001853	Bone Marrow	The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
