    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
