Aplastic Anaemia is a rare but severe condition in which the bone marrow fails to produce enough new blood cells. It is of two types—inherited, a rare condition that is passed from parents to children; and idiopathic acquired aplastic anaemia (aAA) which can develop over a period of time. The cause for aAA is generally unknown but some known causes include exposure to environmental toxins or chemicals, chemotherapy or radiation treatment, and aging.
The incidence of acquired Aplastic Anaemia in India and South East Asia is three-four times more than in Europe and America. The key to successful management is early diagnosis. An early bone marrow transplant can cure it in over 90% cases.
If a child is diagnosed with severe Aplastic Anaemia, a doctor should always look for underlying inherited causes because the management of the two—acquired and inherited--may be different.
Some of the common symptoms of aplastic anaemia are fatigue, frequent infections, and easy bruising. Awareness is the most powerful tool as it can help in early diagnosis, better treatments, and focussed research.
