Abstract

Aplastic anemia is thought to be due to injury or destruction of a common
pluripotential stem cell affecting all subsequent cell populations. In some cases, damaged
marrow microenvironment may contribute to marrow failure.
Approximately 50 per cent of cases arise de novo and are thus considered idiopathic.
The remaining cases are associated with exposure to an extremely diverse array of
chemicals, ionizing radiation, autoimmune or infectious disease.
Recently the authors experienced a patient with aplastic anemia developed after
ingestion of Ganoderma japonicum. So we report this case with brief review of literature.

Keywords Aplastic anemia, Ganoderma japonicum
