Most aplastic anaemia cases are due to suppression of the bone marrow by the immune system.
Viral infections: Certain viruses, such as hepatitis, Epstein-Barr virus and HIV, can lead to aplastic anaemia by damaging the bone marrow.
Radiation and chemotherapy: Treatment for cancer and other conditions can harm the bone marrow, potentially leading to aplastic anaemia.
Autoimmune conditions: People with autoimmune disorders like lupus may be at higher risk due to immune system dysregulation.
Exposure to industrial chemicals: Contact with chemicals like benzene or pesticides can increase the risk of developing aplastic anaemia.
