Aplastic Anemia

Aplastic anemia is a rare but serious hematopoietic disorder in which the bone marrow fails to produce an adequate number of blood cells (erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets). As a result, anemia, immunodeficiency, and an increased risk of bleeding develop.

Clinical manifestations:

Chronic fatigue, dizziness, recurrent infections, bleeding episodes, bruising, tachycardia, and shortness of breath.

Diagnostic methods:

  • Complete blood count (CBC):
  • pancytopenia (reduction of all three cell lines).
  •  Bone marrow biopsy.
  •  Infectious and genetic testing to determine the underlying cause.
