Aplastic anemia is a rare, very serious blood disorder which causes the bone marrow to stop producing new red and white blood cells and platelets. Only about five hundred to one thousand people in the United States develop aplastic anemia a year. The two main types of aplastic anemia are acquired and hereditary. Acquired means it has developed over a person's lifetime and hereditary means a person is born with it. Aplastic anemia can be treated successfully with prompt and appropriate treatment.
