Abstract:
The T1-weighted magnetic resonance examinations in 11 acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients showed substantial reduction in signal intensity of vertebral bodies. Review of bone marrow aspirates and biopsies that were available in eight patients suggested that the abnormality resulted from markedly increased amounts of storage iron within the bone marrow, probably secondary to the anemia of chronic disease.
