Abstract
|
|
|
|
Aplastic anemia is characterized by decreased bone marrow function with inadequate production of erythrocytes, granulocytes, and platelets. Marrow failure may be caused by absence of or defects in hemopoietic stem cells, abnormalities of the bone marrow microenvironment, ineffectlve cell-to-cell interactions, or immune disorders. The reduction in functional marrow mass may be initiated by toxic, radiant, or immunologic injury to marrow stem cells or their microenvironment. Cases of aplastic anemia due to mushroom poisoning continue to occur due to accidental ingestion of poisonous wild mushrooms mistaken as edible mushrooms.Recently the authors experienced three persons of one family with aplastic anemia developed after ingestion of wild mushroom. So we report these cases with brief review of literatures.
