Aplastic anemia is a condition where bone marrow does not produce sufficient new cells to replenish blood cells.[1] The condition‚ per its name‚ involves both aplasia and anemia. Typically‚ anemia refers to low red blood cell counts‚ but aplastic anemia patients have lower counts of all three blood cell types: red blood cells‚ white blood cells‚ and platelets‚ termed pancytopenia. ------------------------------------------------- [edit]Signs and symptoms * Anemia with malaise‚ pallor and associated

Introduction By examining blood smear by microscopy it can detect infections whether they are viral or bacterial. Blood smears are examined by looking at the white and red blood cells appearances. The aim of the experiment is to compare a normal blood smear and its pathological features to those with an infection or abnormality by the use of microscopy looking at the cells involved with blood. A normal blood smear would contain 3 to 4 white blood cells per field in microscopy. If there is an

The chemotherapy treatment‚ causes a variety of side effects. One of the adverse effect is called as myelosuppression‚ where the bone marrow activity is decreased resulting in fewer red blood cells‚ white blood cells‚ and platelets (National Cancer Institute [NIH]‚ n.d.).
