Question
Can newborns undergo a bone marrow biopsy?
Answer
Hello, if diagnosis can be made through other means, it’s best not to undergo a biopsy. However, if it is necessary, a bone marrow biopsy can be performed. Before that, a routine blood test can be conducted to understand the baby’s inflammatory condition, and if needed, a blood culture can be performed. Whether or not to undergo a bone marrow biopsy should be decided based on the baby’s condition.
