Diseases that cause [[Bone Marrow - Anatomy & Physiology|bone marrow]] suppression include:
*'''Aplastic anaemia''' caused by ingestion of bracken or administration of oestrogens, [[Chloramphenicol|chloramphenicol]] or [[Sulphonamides|sulphonamide]] antibiotics.  Prolonged use of phenylbutazone or salicylate may cause the same disease.

*'''Myelophthisis''', the displacement of the normal cell lines of the bone marrow by another cell or tissue type may also reduce the function of the megakaryocytes.  Possible diseases in this category include '''myelofibrosis''' and '''immunoproliferative''' or '''myeloproliferative''' neoplastic disease.
