17 year old boy has Aplastic anemia caused by spleen and bone marrow disfunction.
And doctors said that he needs Spleen reduction and bone marrow transplantation.
How much will it cost? and where is the best hospitals for that?

Any large urban medical center that has a transplant unit should be able to do it. One good one is University Of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA. They have a transplant unit that does all kinds of organ transplants including hearts, so a bone marrow transplant done by injection should be easily possible. It requires a lengthy hospital stay for the entire procedure, so the cost will be very high. Google UPMC Medical Center, Pittsburgh,PA for numerous site given.

And what are the demographics of the typical patient?

Unless something came out yesterday, there has never been an association between hepatitis and aplastic anemia.

The only thing that I remember some years back was the side-effect of hepatitis A and a concurrent bacterial infection resulting in aplastic anemia, though serology proved that the hepatitis was not the cause.

I’d like to know the answer to this myself (including references).
