Aplastic anaemia is a rare, potentially life-threatening failure of haemopoiesis characterised by pancytopenia and hypocellular bone marrow.1,2 Aplastic anaemia is defined as pancytopenia with a hypocellular bone marrow in the absence of an abnormal infiltrate and with no increase in reticulin. Most cases are acquired and immune-mediated but there are also inherited forms. Environmental triggers include drugs, viruses and toxins but most cases are idiopathic.

Otherwyse big cyclophosphamide doses are an excellent choice for treatment of severe aplasic anemia. Best wishes.

Hey, I was diagnosed with aplastic anemia 3 years ago, treated 2 times with antithymocyte globulin (from rabbit and horse), danazol, filgratim, cyclosporine and everything you could imagine without response. My doctors dismissed fanconi's anemia 'cause I dont have any of physical abnormalities relates in fanconi's anemia, but when im trying to enter in a clinical trial, the test for fanconi's anemia was a requisite and was positive... so probably is a good idea do the test...->

@amydong1 I was diagnosed with this disease when I was 18 months. I am still alive today which makes me a stonger person. I am glad your son is cured and he is doing well.

@sbibian I know the feeling, my mother was one of the first to have it back in 1957, she was also the first ever survivor, it's through her survival that I have hope for my everyday issues

i understand what you and your family are going through. my son was diagnosed at 16 months old. this was back in 1993. he was one of the first patient that was diagnosed with this then. he is now saved by his younger sister. i was pregnant at the time and she was the PERFECT match. the transplant was very successful and he is now cured. stay positive.
