Aplastic anaemia is a rare life-threatening blood disorder caused by the bone marrow failing to produce blood cells. As a result, people experience extreme fatigue, suffer from bleeding and bruising, and are prone to infections.
Treatments involve blood transfusions, bone marrow transplant or immune-suppressive therapy. Serious aplastic anaemia requires urgent treatment.
