Overview
Aplastic anemia is seen secondary to a hypoplastic bone marrow causing pancytopenia (anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia). The history and symptoms seen are secondary to these abnormalities.
Symptoms
- Anemia with malaise, fatigue pallor and associated symptoms
- Thrombocytopenia (low platelet counts), leading to increased risk of hemorrhage and bruising, menorrhagia in premenstural female.
- Leukopenia (low white blood cell count), leading to increased risk of infection
