📋Overview
This condition is characterized by a deficiency across all three types of blood cells—red cells, white cells, and platelets—a clinical state known as pancytopenia. It typically involves damage to hematopoietic stem cells, which may be caused by an immune system response that affects the bone marrow.
The disorder can be acquired or inherited and involves the failure of the marrow's productive capacity. This condition is distinct from other forms of anemia because it involves a reduction in the production of all blood cell lines rather than a single type.
