Abstract

Aplastic anemia is one of the hematologic disease which is characterized by cytopenia in peripheral blood, hypocelluarity in bone marrow and marrow failure. Most common cause of aplastic anemia is unknown. Acquired causes of it are viral infection, drugs, and chemical agents. The symptoms of aplastic anemia are fatigue, headache, dizziness, exertional dyspnea, and pallor, and they are due to abrupt decrease in hemoglobin level. The incidence of acquired aplastic anemia is higher in Eastern population than Western. In geeral, men and women are affected with equal frequency, but the age distribution is biphasic, with the major peak in the teens and tweenties and a second rise in the elderly. We report a case of a 28-year-old man who experience aplastic anemia after ingestion of Cordyceps with the review of literatures.
