Cellular iron is found as either ferritin or hemosiderin. It is identified in cells by the Perls or Prussian blue reaction, in which ionic iron reacts with acid ferro cyanide to impart a blue color. The stain is best used on bone marrow aspirate smears but can also be used on blood films and aspirate clot tissue sections. Bone marrow smears and blood investigation report of patients age <18 years and of either sex who are referred to the Department of Pathology for bone marrow aspiration as part of diagnostic work up for anemia were included in this study. In our study majority of the bone marrow finding was erythroid hyperplasia with megaloblastic differentiation (12, 23.07%), followed by erythroid hyperplasia with micronormoblastic maturation (9,17.30%).
