BACKGROUND: @entity3043 is a relatively common @entity1503 , the etiological factors of which vary widely in different geographic location. Determining the specific etiology is of immense importance for appropriate management. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The present study was undertaken to delineate etiological factors leading to @entity3043 in a Tertiary Care Hospital of West Bengal from Eastern Region of India. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective study was conducted for a period of 2 years in which 248 @entity1 were included. After obtaining a relevant clinical history, physical examination was done followed by complete blood count including peripheral blood smears examination, relevant biochemical, and radiological investigations. Afterward, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy were performed and microscopically examined. RESULTS: Among 248 @entity1 studied, 156 (62.9%) were males and 92 (37.09%) were females. The mean age of the @entity1 was 33 years. @entity2150 was the most common cause of @entity3043 that was observed in 83 cases (33.47%) followed by @entity417 in 52 cases (20.97%), @entity232 in 34 @entity1 (13.71%), @entity6118 also in 34 @entity1 (13.71%), and @entity378 and other connective tissue disorders in 18 cases (7.26%). The occurrence of @entity2150 was statistically significant in pediatric ( <=15 years) age group. CONCLUSION: @entity2150 was found to be the most common cause of @entity3043 in this study, which is in contrast to studies conducted from other regions of India. Delineation of etiologies of @entity3043 in various regions can help in defining diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, which is expected to contribute toward the better management of such @entity1 .
