    Extractions: What is aplastic anemia? Aplastic anemia occurs when the bone marrow produces too few of all types of blood cells: red cells, white cells, and platelets. A reduced number of red blood cells causes the hemoglobin (a type of protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen to the tissues of the body) to drop. A reduced number of white blood cells causes the patient to be susceptible to infection. A reduced number of platelets can cause the blood not to clot as easily. What causes aplastic anemia? Aplastic anemia in children has multiple causes. Some of these causes are idiopathic, meaning they occur sporadically for no known reason. Other causes are secondary, resulting from a previous illness or disorder. Nearly 50 to 75 percent of childhood cases of aplastic anemia occur sporadically for no known reason. Acquired causes, however, may include the following: history of specific infectious diseases such as hepatitis, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), parvovirus B19, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

He worked in a petroleum resin-producing factory and had been exposed to low-level benzene while packaging the powder resin and pouring lime into a deactivation tank. According to the yearly environmental survey of the working area, the airborne benzene level was approximately 0.28 ppm. Exposure to benzene, a common chemical used widely in industry, may progressively lead to pancytopenia, aplastic anemia, and leukemia. The hematotoxicity of benzene is related to the amount and duration of exposure. Most risk predictions for benzene exposures have been based on rubber workers who were exposed to high concentrations. In the petroleum industry, the concentration of benzene is relatively low, and there are disputes over the toxicity of low-level benzene because of a lack of evidence. In this paper we report the case of aplastic anemia induced by low-level benzene exposure. Key words : aplastic anemia, benzene, petrochemical worker.

    Extractions: I have a 13 yr old daughter that was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitus 9 months ago. After treatment with Prednisone, she appears to be doing very well. During one of her blood tests though, her WBC count was alarmingly low. Her RBC and platelets were also low. After a few months of monitoring this, she was diagnosed with Aplastic anemia - after a bone marrow biopsy. I understand that certain viral hepatitus can cause this but my hemotologist and G.I. Specialist said a link could not be made with the AIH. I think it is too coincidental that two pretty rare idiopathic conditions could happen and not be linked in some way. Do you think there a connection? Answer Posted By: HFHSM.D.-D.M. on Sunday, March 19, 2000 I appreciate your question. I can certainly imagine how concerned you are about your 13 year old daughter. As a general rule, I have to agree with your hematologist and gastroenterologist. I agree that both conditions are pretty unusual and it would be easy to think there would be a connection. In fact, there could well be a connection. I just am not sure what it is.

    Extractions: aplastic anemia By Thomas Fisher, MD Aplastic anemia is a condition in which the bone marrow fails to produce blood cells. What is going on in the body? The bone marrow contains special cells known as stem cells. Stem cells are like infant cells. They may develop into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells fight infection. Platelets control bleeding by forming blood clots in certain situations. Blood cells have a limited life, so new ones are made constantly. Certain conditions can damage stem cells or change their environment. The stem cells stop making blood cells. The bone marrow fills up with fat, instead of developing blood cells. The low level of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the body is known as aplastic anemia. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? A person with aplastic anemia may have the following symptoms: fatigue pale skin rapid heartbeat weakness What are the causes and risks of the condition? In 50% of the people with aplastic anemia, the cause is unknown. In other cases, the anemia may be caused by one of the following factors:

    Extractions: Aplastic Anemia is classified as a bone marrow disorder caused by the deficiency of the production of red blood cells. The cause of aplastic anemia is usually not known, but a small number of cases may be caused by exposure to chemical and antineoplastic agents and ionizing radiation. Aplastic anemia most commonly affects adolescents and young adults. Infiltration of cells into the bone marrow that are not normally present in bone marrow can interfere with normal blood production. Aplastic anemia may be acute or chronic, but it will always progress. Patients with aplastic anemia learn to take steps to prevent infections and to get adequate rest. When the platelet count becomes too low ( petechiae and ecchymoses . A diet high in vitamins and proteins is recommended. Individuals with aplastic anemia may be treated with either bone marrow transplantation or immunosuppressive agents.

Prevention Definition: Secondary aplastic anemia is a failure of the blood-cell forming capacity of the bone marrow that affects all blood-cell types. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Secondary aplastic anemia is a condition that is a result of injury to the stem cell, a cell that gives rise to other blood cell types when it divides and differentiates. Consequently, there is a reduction in all types of blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets (which is called pancytopenia).

    Extractions: Aplastic Anemia Research Study Aplastic anemia results from failure of the bone marrow to make a normal quantity of red blood cells, and may be treated by drugs that suppress the immune system. For patients with severe aplastic anemia, we offer a combination of antithymocyte globulin plus cyclosporine combined with a new drug call mycophenolate mofetil. Our goal is to decrease the risk of relapse and of late complications. To be eligible, patients cannot previously have received immunosuppressive therapies.
