What is Aplastic Anemia?

Aplastic anemia is a rare but extremely serious disorder that results from the unexplained failure of the bone marrow to produce blood cells. In all probability you had never heard of this disease until the time of diagnosis. Aplastic Anemia, Myelodysplastic Syndromes & PNH can strike any person of any age, in any gender or any race, in any neighborhood anywhere in the world. In the United States, thousands of men, women and children are stricken with these non-contagious bone marrow diseases every year. They occur when the bone marrow stops making enough healthy blood cells. Although all of the causes are still unknown, they have been linked to toxins and viruses that we are in contact with every day.
