Aplastic anemia - bone marrow failure (AA) is defined as pancytopenia with hypocellular bone marrow without signs of marrow fibrosis or of presence of abnormal cells. Recent studies showed that most of AA cases might be mediated by immune mechanisms.

Pathogenesis of aplastic anemia [PDF]
Aplastic anemia (AA) is a rare and life-threatening bone marrow failure (BMF) that results in peripheral blood cytopenia and reduced bone marrow hematopoietic cell proliferation. The symptoms are similar to myelofibrosis, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) making diagnosis of AA complicated.

Clinical utility of hematological parameters in aplastic anemia [PDF]
Hematological parameters available on automated hematology analyzers have been shown to be useful indicators for hematological disorders. However, extensive studies especially in aplastic anemia for these indices are sparse.

Oligoclonal expansion of CD8+ CD28− lymphocytes has been considered indirect evidence for a pathogenic immune response in acquired aplastic anemia. A subset of CD8+ CD28− cells with CD57 expression, termed effector memory cells, is expanded in several ...

Severe aplastic anemia: allogeneic bone marrow transplantation as first-line treatment
: Treatment of severe aplastic anemia has improved significantly over the past 4 decades. This review will summarize the key areas of progress in the use of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation and nontransplant immunosuppressive therapy (IST ...

Incidence of aplastic anemia in Bangkok. The Aplastic Anemia Study Group [PDF]
The annual incidence of aplastic anemia in metropolitan Bangkok, Thailand, and its five suburban provinces was prospectively determined. All patients first diagnosed during the period from January through December 1989 who met specific clinical and pathologic criteria were included. Thirty-two cases were identified, yielding an overall incidence of 3.7

Treatments of aplastic anemia are comprised of supportive therapy and aplastic anemia-specific therapy aimed at restoring hematopoiesis. Supportive therapies include transfusion, G-CSF, and the administration of iron chelation agents, as well as dealing ...

Approach to the diagnosis of aplastic anemia.
Establishing a diagnosis of aplastic anemia (AA) can be challenging, but it is absolutely critical to appropriate management, especially differentiating between acquired and inherited forms of the disease. The hematology field requires updated diagnostic

Somatic mutations in lymphocytes in patients with immune-mediated aplastic anemia
The prevalence and functional impact of somatic mutations in nonleukemic T cells is not well characterized, although clonal T-cell expansions are common.
