Overview
Aplastic anemia is seen as a result of hypoplastic bone marrow causing pancytopenia (anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia). The history and symptoms seen are secondary to these abnormalities.
Symptoms
- Malaise, fatigue, and pallor (Anemia)
- Increased risk of hemorrhage, bruising, and menorrhagia (thrombocytopenia).
- Increased risk of infection (leukopenia)
