Summary

Aplastic anemia is a rare but potentially life-threatening disorder characterized by pancytopenia and a marked reduction in the hematopoietic stem cell compartment. Treatment should be instituted as soon as the dignosis of aplastic anemia is established. Treatment outcomes are excellent with modern supportive care and the current approach to allogeneic transplantation, and therefore referral to a bone marrow transplant program to evaluate for early transplantation is the new standard of care.
