It is an autosomal recessive disorder. It occurs equally in males and females, and found in all ethnic groups; it can affect all systems of the body, and many patients eventually develop acute myelogenous leukemia at an early age; they also develop a variety of other head, neck, gynecological and or gastrointestinal cancers; the patient can be cured of the FA blood problem by having a successful bone marrow transplant, but must still have regular examinations to watch for signs of cancer.

I Contracted Aplastic Anemia Last March And The Possible Cause Was Exhaust Gases. Has Anyone Else Got This.?

In most cases, doctors do not know the cause of aplastic anemia. In about 20% of patients, the disease develops from an inherited disorder, such as Fanconi anemia. Aplastic anemia may also be caused by high doses of radiation or certain chemicals or viruses. There is evidence that in many people aplastic anemia is an autoimmune disease. This means that the body’s immune system is reacting against itself. The immune system attacks the bone marrow and stops it from making enough blood cells.
Is it the doctor saying that the cause is exhaust gases, or you? I would think its very unusual for a doctor to make this comment as in most cases there is no way of telling!;
