They can be divided into inherited disorders, acquired disorders and diseases infiltrating bone marrow. Acute leukemia is a serious cause of bone marrow failure which  needs early diagnosis and management . Purpose: To study for   registry,  and clinical spectrum of bone marrow failure in Beni-Suef university hospital to detect the magnitude of the problem . Patients and methods: It is  cross sectional study over a period of six months from January 2019 to June 2019, in which patients with bone marrow failure (monocytopenia, bicytopenia or pancytopenia) from  pediatric age group (0-13 years) who were admitted in the pediatric department in Beni-Suef university hospital were included and followed up. They were subjected to a detailed history, full examination and laboratory investigation; complete blood count, reticulocyte cont, bone marrow aspirate & biopsy,  virology study and accordingly other investigations were done such as flow cytometry for cd55 & cd59, glucocerebrosidase enzyme assay, chromosomal breakage analysis and imaging. Results: Out of 22000 outpatients and 1700 inpatients,55 patients had diagnosed as bone marrow failure during six months duration with percentage of o.23%. The most frequent diagnosis of bone marrow failure was acute Leukemia (30.9 %), followed by Idiopathic aplastic anemia (27.3%) then Fanconi anaemia (21.8%).
