Aplastic Anemia

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a bone marrow failure syndrome; autoreactive CD8+ T cells destroy HSCs via perforin/granzyme → pancytopenia. SAA: ANC <500/µL, plt <20,000/µL, reticulocytes <20,000/µL. Treatment: HSCT (young, matched donor) or ATG + cyclosporine + eltrombopag.

Also known as: AA, aplastic anaemia, severe aplastic anemia, SAA, very severe aplastic anemia, VSAA, bone marrow failure
