Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aplastic anemia is characterized by a deficiency in red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets due to a decrease in hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Decreased production of T cells may be observed in conditions such as HIV/AIDS or chronic lymphocytic leukemia, decreased levels of immunoglobulin A may be observed in conditions such as common variable immunodeficiency, and a decreased number of Kupffer cells may be observed in conditions such as liver cirrhosis.
