Study Notes
Acquired Aplastic Anemia
- Distinguishing feature: marrow hypocellularity, which can be caused by radiation, chemotherapy, and toxins
- Common manifestation: pancytopenia, a condition characterized by a decrease in all three types of blood cells (red, white, and platelets)
Genetic Diseases
- Fanconi anemia: usually presents in early childhood, has typical physical anomalies, and can present as marrow failure in normal-appearing adults
- Dyskeratosis congenita: usually presents in early childhood, has typical physical anomalies, and can present as marrow failure in normal-appearing adults
Marrow Failure
- Can be caused by acquired aplastic anemia, which is a condition where the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells
- Can be caused by genetic diseases, such as Fanconi anemia and Dyskeratosis congenita, which usually present in early childhood and have typical physical anomalies
