Abstract

Aplastic anemia is a condition characterized by bone marrow hipoplasia and pancytopenia. Various etiologic agents are related to the acquired form of this disease but in many cases the causative agents remain obscure. Severe aplastic anemia has been treated by immunosuppression and allogeneic marrow transplantation.
