 | | 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. |
