	Aplastic anemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aplastic anemia is a condition where the bone marrow does not produce enough, or any, new cells to replenish the blood cells.
		In many cases, the etiology is impossible to determine, but aplastic anemia is sometimes associated with exposure to substances such as benzene or to the use of certain drugs, including chloramphenicol and phenylbutazone.
		Treating aplastic anemia involves suppression of the immune system, an effect achieved by daily medicine intake, or, in more severe cases, a bone marrow transplant, a curing but risky procedure.

		Aplastic anaemia may be a consequence of use of high dose drugs and radiotherapy in treatment of cancer.
		Although the clinical appearance of aplastic anaemia may be similar to other bone marrow and blood diseases the diagnosis is normally very clear once the full results of laboratory tests are available.
		The outlook in aplastic anaemia has been greatly improved because of the introduction of better support measures, the appropriate use of bone marrow transplantation and the introduction of immunosuppressive therapy.

	Anaemia
		Aplastic anaemia occurs when there is severe reduction in red blood corpuscles, and when the bone marrow is unable to regenerate them.
		Anaemia of folate deficiency is a decrease in the red cells in the blood caused by folate (folic acid) deficiency.
		In folate deficiency anaemia, the red cells are abnormally large and are referred to as megalocytes, and in the bone marrow as megaloblasts.

	Aplastic anaemia
		Aplastic anaemia is a rare acquired disorder in which there is a failure of the bone marrow to produce sufficient blood cells for the circulation.
		The difference from acquired aplastic anaemia is that the fall in blood cells occurs acutely over one or two days and recovery takes place in the majority of patients if they are supported through the period of marrow depression with blood transfusions.
		The risk of developing aplastic anaemia as a side-effect of drug treatment is very small, for the antibiotic chloramphenicol, one of the more widely studied triggers for the disease, about one person in 25,000 taking the drug may develop aplastic anaemia.

	TOXIC OVERLOAD: BLOOD DISORDERS AND CANCERS RESULTING FROM EXPOSURE TO DRUGS, CHEMICALS AND RADIATION by Edward ...
		As part of aplastic anaemia, platelets are often the first cells to be reduced due to exposure to a causative agent and bone marrow destruction, and the last to return to normal if there is a recovery.
		Our medical dictionary (Mosby's 1994) says that aplastic anaemia is a failure of all the blood forming elements in the bone marrow; that it may be caused by cancer of the bone marrow or, more commonly, by destruction of the bone marrow by exposure to ionising radiation, toxic chemicals, antibiotics or other medications.
		The cause of his aplastic anaemia was initially identified by the medical investigation to be the benzene-related substance, Toluene, in the adhesive.

	News - Immunosuppressive Therapy May Offer Good Response Rate, Survival in Severe Aplastic Anaemia
		Use of immunosuppressive agents (ISA) in the management of adult aplastic anaemia (AA) can achieve a high response rate and long-term survival regardless of disease severity, say researchers.
		To compare survival rates and long-term complications between treatment by bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and immunosuppressive agents (ISA), M. Ahn and colleagues of Hanyang University in Seoul, Korea, evaluated 229 adult AA patients treated with ISA and 64 patients treated with BMT.
		Further studies with a larger patient population and long-term follow-up are needed, the investigators conclude.
