Unlike previous studies conducted in other parts of the world, this study showed that hyperreactive malarial splenomegaly was the leading cause of pancytopenia. This emphasizes the necessity of considering this condition as a possible cause for pancytopenia, particularly in malaria-endemic areas. The findings of the hematological profiles and peripheral blood morphology strongly suggest that early identification and prompt management of patients with pancytopenia require collaboration between clinical and laboratory investigations.
