The diagnosis was possible in all the patients and the reports were intimated within a few hours of carrying out the procedure. Indications for sternal puncture were non accessibility of PSIS/ASIS due to obesity, bed sores, anasarca, skin lesions and patients on ventilators. No complications were seen. Sternum is as good as other sites of bone marrow examination especially in critically ill patients who cannot undergo conventional bone marrow aspiration
