Description
Aplastic anemia is a condition of impaired bone marrow production leading to variable degree of cytopenia/s. Idiopathic aplastic anemia accounts for most cases, with the remaining attributed to inherited or acquired etiologies. It is crucial for pathologists to trigger the relevant testing to identify potential causes of aplastic anemia, for appropriate treatment and surveillance.
This clinical pathology activity is intended for pathologists.
