Aplastic Anemia
Aplastic anemia is a rare and serious blood disorder characterized by a deficiency of all types of blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) in the bone marrow. This condition occurs when the bone marrow fails to produce an adequate number of blood cells, leading to a range of symptoms and complications.
Common symptoms
Diagnosis involves blood tests to measure the levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, as well as a bone marrow biopsy to assess the condition of the bone marrow.
Treatment may include blood transfusions, medications (e.g., immunosuppressive therapy), and bone marrow transplantation (stem cell transplant) in severe cases. The choice of treatment depends on the severity and underlying cause of the aplastic anemia.
No, aplastic anemia is not contagious. It is a medical condition related to blood and bone marrow disorders and cannot be transmitted from one person to another.
