Histologic and cytologic bone marrow findings in dogs with suspected precursor ‐targeted immune‐mediated anemia and associated phagocytosis of erythroid precursors

ConclusionsBone marrow patterns in dogs fulfilling criteria for PIMA were aligned with stage‐selective phagocytosis of erythroid precursors and the development of collagen myelofibrosis, common in dogs with PIMA. Recognition of these patterns and detection of RP facilitates diagnosis of PIMA, and slow response to immunosuppressive therapy warrants further investigation into its pathogenesis.
