Abstract

Aplastic anemia (AA) is a rare serious hematologic disorder caused by hematopoietic stem cell failure in maintaining hematopoiesis. AA is virtually fatal if not treated, and diagnosis and therapy require exten-sive hematologic infrastructure. Academic medical centers in Brazil have continuously and significantly contributed to diagnostic tools and therapy development, from novel transplant strategies to drug com-binations and implementation science in the national public health system. In the present review, we discuss how the collaborative effort among academic centers in hematology has contributed to improv-ing health care for patients with aplastic anemia. We also discuss what needs are still unmet and how to overcome these challenges.(c) 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. (AU)
