Abstract
Background: At the spinal level, SARS-CoV2 can compromise hematopoiesis, manifesting itself with cytopenias and there are only studies carried out in autopsies. Objective: to describe the morphological characteristics of the bone marrow of patients hospitalized for pneumonia due to COVID-19 at the Hospital Nacional “Dos de Mayo”. The study: Retrospective cross-sectional study carried out in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The bone marrow readings were confirmed by a trained hematologist. Descriptive statistics were used for the quantitative and qualitative variables. Findings: 30 patients were included. The most frequent findings were: macrophages with cytophagocytosis (87%), hyperplasia with arrest in the maturation of myeloid progenitors (70%). 87% of the samples presented eosinophilia. Little or no evidence of platelet formation was observed in 57% of the samples. In 40%, 6% of plasma cells were found. Conclusion: SARS-CoV2 infection can generate spinal cord disorders.
