Objective To investigate the incidence of leukemia in infants, and to understand the status of this disease in recent years. Methods A total of 5802 children aged median 6 years (0-12 years) with first time bone marrow biopsy from January 2009 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed, and the results of bone marrow image analysis were analyzed retrospectively to investigate the incidence of leukemia. Results Of the 5802 cases, 480 (8.27 %) cases were children with leukemia. Among them, 381 (79.38 %) cases were acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), 99 (20.62 %) cases were acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The proportion of children with leukemia with first time marrow puncture was 5.33%(40/750), 4.92%(36/731), 7.06%(58/821), 8.34%(78/935), 10.13%(88/868), 10.89%(92/845), and 10.33%(88/852) from 2009 to 2015, respectively. The proportion of male patients per year was more than female, and the incidence in preschool and school-age children was higher [33.75 % (162/480) and 34.79 % (167/480), respectively]. Conclusion The proportion of children's leukemia in children with the first time bone marrow aspiration in Shanxi Children's Hospital increases year by year, and its risk factors need to be further analyzed.

Objective To investigate the significance of bone marrow cell morphology on clinical diagnosis of children hematopoietic diseases.Methods The data of bone marrow cell morphology in the bone marrow puncture specimens from 4 590 children admitted to Children' s Hospital of Shanxi Province from January 2009 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The proportion of infancy patients was the highest in 4 590 bone marrow specimens, accounting for 29.0 ％ (1 333/4 590), then that of the toddler age patients was second highest, accounting for 26.7 ％ (1 224/4 590).The constituent ratio of thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) at the different ages was the highest.The most common diseases in bone marrow cell morphology diagnosis were in order of ITP, iron deficiency anemia (IDA), infectious bone marrow, leukemia (acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia), aplastic anemia and so on.Conclusions Accurate analysis of bone marrow cell morphology is still the most basic and rapid approach in children with hematopoietic system disease, which has important value.Except hematopoietic system diseases, once fever of unknown origin, hepatosplenomegaly and enlargement of lymph nodes the patients should be early given bone marrow cell morphology check, early diagnosis and therapy.
