Aplastic anaemia

Article Abstract:

Aplastic anaemia is a serious acquired condition in which blood production by stem cells fails, resulting in a lack of red cells, white cells, and platelets, and the marrow produces fat cells rather than blood cells. Symptoms of this anaemia include shortness of breath, headache, fatigue and pale complexion, and recommended treatments are blood transfusion, immune-suppressing drugs, and bone marrow transplantation.
