    Aplastic anemia is a condition where the bone marrow fails to produce sufficient new blood cells, causing anemia, low white blood cell count, and low platelet count. It can be caused by chemical exposure, radiation, toxins, or medications. Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, infections, and easy bruising. Primary prevention focuses on avoiding causes. Secondary prevention involves blood tests and bone marrow biopsies. Tertiary prevention centers around blood transfusions, growth factors, immunosuppressants, bone marrow transplants, or splenectomy to treat symptoms and support blood cell production.
