Anemia results from reduced red cell production, infections occur as a result of reduced white cell production, and excess bleeding results from reduced platelet production.

Chronic Illness, Children, Aplastic Anemia, Laura People who have aplastic anemia have bone marrow that just stops working right. They think that they might catch aplastic anemia just by being near me. http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/faculty/jfleitas/bandaides/laura.html
Extractions: When I was in 5th grade, I could barely breathe. Really! If I just walked from the car to the house or any other short distance I had the hardest time catching my breath. People told me that I looked as pale as a ghost, too, which is not the nicest comparison in the world, but I guess they were right. The day I found out what was going on with my body was the day that I woke up with one of my eyes swollen. I didn't feel good at all. I tried to go to school, but since I had a fever and lots of bruises AND a bloody nose that lasted 90 minutes, no lying, I didn't stay very long. Instead I ended up going to the doctor. And then to the hospital! After a lot of medical people tested my blood and my bone marrow, they figured out what was happening to my body. This Sherlock Holmes part was not one bit of fun, believe me! Well in March of 1995, I found out that I have this disease called aplastic anemia. Now I'm an old pro and can tell you all about it. People who have aplastic anemia have bone marrow that just stops working right. Bone marrow is the soft spongy material inside your bones that contains something called stem cells. These are incredibly important little guys that are in charge of making three different types of blood cells. When you don't have normal stem cells, well then you're just out of luck...Your bone marrow doesn't make the red blood cells and the white blood cells and the platelets that you need. Now don't be grossed out. I figured that you'd like to see just what I'm talking about. Here's a picture of your bone marrow, or at least some that probably looks pretty much like yours! See all the stem cells...doing just what they're supposed to do...lucky you!
Extractions: SAA usually arises in a previously healthy child. While some cases of SAA have been linked to infections (e.g., hepatitis viruses), exposure to radiation and chemicals (including some medications), the exact cause is not known in most cases. It is likely that SAA is not one disease but rather a group of conditions, which present in a similar way. In addition, the mechanism whereby the BM cells decrease in number can be a result of either autoimmune (i.e., immune system is working against itself) or other kind of injury of the blood forming cells. What Are the Treatments Available for Severe Aplastic Anemia? In order to prevent infections and bleeding, initially patients with SAA receive transfusions (platelets and red blood cells) and antibiotics. Once the patient is in stable condition, the treatment consists of drug therapy or bone marrow transplantation (BMT), or both. Drug therapy involves use of medications (anti-thymocyte globulin, cyclosporine, steroids), which suppress the immune system and allow the blood forming capacity of BM to recover. These medications need to be administered for a course of several months and are combined with a growth factor (G-CSF), which stimulates white blood cells to grow. Drug treatment, however, is effective in increasing the blood counts only in some patients. More importantly, the response may be short-lived and pre-malignant and malignant conditions may occur many years after treatment. Therefore, drug therapy is used by most physicians only in children who do not have a matched sibling donor, whose cells can be used as a source of stem cells for transplantation.

Home Aplastic Anemia Aplastic Anemia Programs that treat this condition Bone Marrow Failure Stem Cell Transplantation 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 cause the patient to be susceptible to infection. A reduced number of platelets can cause the blood not to clot as easily as normal. What causes Aplastic Anemia? Aplastic anemia in children has multiple causes, but many causes are "idiopathic", meaning they occur sporadically for no known reason. Other causes are secondary, resulting from a previous illness or disorder. Acquired causes may include: a history of specific infectious diseases such as hepatitis, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a history of taking certain medications, exposure to certain toxins such as heavy metals, exposure to radiation, or a history of an autoimmune disease such as lupus. Children may also inherit a disorder that predisposes them to developing aplastic anemia. Some examples include:

Contact A Benzene Law Firm Benzene is a colorless, sweet smelling chemical that has been linked to a number of health problems and side effects. This is a chemical that can be found naturally occurring in the environment. It is also used in a variety of man-made products, such as solvents, paints, dyes, in the petroleum industry, and in a number of chemical and household products. This chemical has been linked to a number of diseases, including various forms of leukemia. Aplastic anemia is just one of the diseases that can result from prolonged and high level exposure to benzene. Aplastic anemia is where the bone does not produce adequate levels of red and white blood cells or platelets. This causes a drop in hemaglobin, which stems from reduced red blood cells; an increased risk of infection, caused by reduced white blood cells; and blood clotting abnormalities, caused by the reduction in platelets. There are various symptoms that can relate the a reduction of lack of these blood properties, and these include: Symptoms of lack of red blood cells: tiredness, a very pale complexion, and shortness of breath.

Blood types Secondary aplastic anemia is a failure of the bone marrow to form enough blood cells. All blood cell types are affected. Anemia - secondary aplastic; Acquired aplastic anemia Secondary aplastic anemia results from injury to stem cells. Normal stem cells divide and differentiate into all blood cell types. Thus, when stem cells are injured, there is a reduction in red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This condition can be caused by chemotherapy, drug therapy to suppress the immune system, radiation therapy, toxins such as benzene or arsenic, drugs, pregnancy, and congenital disorders. When the cause is unknown, it is then referred to as idiopathic aplastic anemia The disease may be acute or chronic and is usually gets worse unless the cause is removed.
