What are the treatment options for severe aplastic anemia?

Aplastic anemia is an acquired bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by anemia, infection, and bleeding. Supportive treatment for severe aplastic anemia requires attention to personal hygiene and environmental hygiene to reduce infection. Broad-spectrum antibiotics should be given if the temperature exceeds 38.5 ° C. If anemia symptoms are severe, red blood cell transfusions may be given. If bleeding occurs, prophylactic platelet transfusions may be given.
