CONT

Aplastic anemia is a disease of the young, with a median age at onset of about 25 years (excluding aplasia secondary to cancer chemotherapy). It must be a leading diagnosis in the pancytopenic adolescent or young adult. The bone marrow is usually readily aspirated but appears dilute on smear. The biopsy specimen, often grossly pale, shows mainly fat under the microscope, with hematopoietic cells occupying by definition less than 25% of the marrow space and, in the most serious cases, 0 to 5%

  • Blood
OBS

Aplastic anemia is a rare but extremely serious disorder that results when the marrow fails to produce blood cells. Aplastic anemia may be either acquired or inherited. Myelodysplasia is similar to aplastic anemia in that production of blood cells is decreased; however, the blood cells which are produced in myelodysplasia may not function properly. Aplastic anemia patients who do not receive a bone marrow transplant may go on to develop myelodysplasia which, in turn, can progress to leukemia.
