[Morphology of erythroblastic bone marrow islands in hematologic patients]

Erythroblastic islands (EI) available for light-microscopic study were obtained from 25 patients with a haemopoiesis pathology from the ileum bone using the method suggested by the authors. Erythropoiesis activation in the osteomyelofibrosis in the erythremic stage, erythremia and haemolytic anemia was followed by the appearance in the "crown" of the central macrophage from 34 to 37 nucleated erythroid cells, enhanced phagocytosis of the normoblast nuclei and the presence of 2-4 nucleoli in the macrophage and proerythroblast nuclei.
