Thalassemia Reports, Volume 13, Issue 2

June 2023 - 5 articles

Cover Story: Severe Aplastic Anaemia (SAA) is a rare benign disease but carries a high mortality rate unless treated in a specialised centre. Overwhelming laboratory and clinical evidence points to an autoimmune pathogenesis; however, the aetiology remains obscure in the majority of cases. The differential diagnosis in older patients is problematical, and a diagnosis of hypoplastic myelodysplasia remains difficult. This review points out the difficulty in diagnosis without a specific test. Future research needs to define a specific diagnostic test and refine therapeutic interventions. View this paper
