| | Anaemia |
 | | Prognosis for this form of anaemia is generally that it is corrected by therapy. | | | Causes of other types of aplastic anaemia may be chemotherapy, radiation therapy, toxins, drugs, pregnancy, congenital disorder, or systemic lupus erythematosus. | | | Blood transfusions and, increasingly, bone marrow transplants, are necessary forms of treatment for aplastic anaemia patients. |

| | Aplastic anaemia |
| | The usual therapy used to suppress the immune system in aplastic anaemia is use of antilymphocyte or antithymocyte globulins (ALG or ATG) and cyclosporin. | | | True relapse, that is a return of the original condition of aplastic anaemia affects perhaps one in ten patients. | | | During this time patients will be at risk from anaemia, bleeding/bruising problems and infections and supportive therapy is essential. |

| | Aplastic anaemia |
| | Severe and very severe aplastic anaemia are life-threatening conditions that need to be taken very seriously. | | | The most important distinction that the haematologist must make is between aplastic anaemia and acute leukaemia, which can show very similar blood pictures. | | | Occasionally some of these conditions may present with empty bone marrows just like aplastic anaemia. |
