Why finding a stem cell match remains a major challenge for patients with aplastic anaemia

Updated – March 05, 2026 02:08 am IST - DHAKA

Admin
Aplastic anaemia is a life-threatening blood disorder in which the bone marrow is unable to produce enough red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. When these blood cells are low in count, the combination is called pancytopenia. While iron deficiency anaemia can often be managed with supplements and a proper diet, aplastic anaemia requires complex medical interventions. Thousands of people are diagnosed with aplastic anaemia in India every year. Studies from India report that a noticeable proportion of patients presenting with pancytopenia are ultimately diagnosed with aplastic anaemia. While the exact cause of aplastic anaemia is often unknown, several factors can contribute to the disorder, including autoimmune diseases and exposure to certain toxins, chemicals, and radiation. A 2015 study reported that aplastic anaemia accounts for a substantial number of bone marrow failure cases in the country. Another Indian review notes that patients in India often present at a younger age than in Western populations. These findings indicate that aplastic anaemia is highly prevalent in India, requiring urgent attention to build awareness.
