Objective: To estimate splenic length in correlation with the height of an individual.
Background: The normal length of the Spleen varies from 12 -14 cm. Various text books describe the measurement of splenic length but not it's correlation with the height of an individual. As per the data available there are few studies done, correlating the splenic length and height of an individual. Clinically length of the spleen is more significant. Hence this study has been taken up with the criteria of ultrasonographic measurement of splenic length and it's correlation with height of an individual.
Method: The study was conducted in department of radio diagnosis, M.S.Ramaiah teaching hospital. 500 individuals were selected for the study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Splenic length was measured with the help of Ultrasound. Height of the individual was measured in centimeters and statistical analysis was done.
Result: The length of the Spleen increases proportionately with increase in height of individual (Males: F=10.832 and
Conclusion: The relation between Splenic length and height of an individual is significantly positive.

Pancytopenia is a common hematological problem in India. This study was carried out to identify the causes of pancytopenia. It was a prospective study conducted at the department of Pathology, KIMS, Hubli, India for a duration of one year.A total of 137 cases, which met the criteria for pancytopenia were included in the study. Complete hemogram, bone marrow examination and other investigations were done in these cases. Megaloblastic anemia, aplastic anemia and malaria are the major causes of pancytopenia in our study. As majority of causes for pancytopenia are treatable, a proper work-up to detect the underlying etiology should be attempted in all cases of pancytopenia.Keywords
