Anesthetic repercussions in a child with aplastic anemia

Abstract

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a rare hematologic disease and a unique example of bone marrow failure syndromes. The disease presents with clinical features of reduction in all blood cell counts, i.e., anemia, infections, and hemorrhage. We are reporting the successful anesthetic management of a case of 6-year-old, 20 kg male child, diagnosed case of AA operated for a fungating lesion (osteomyelitis) in the right wrist.
