Prognosis
The prognosis depends upon the aetiology and severity of the disease:
- pregnancy - 90% mortality
- viral hepatitis - 60% mortality
- thymoma - removal of the tumour may result in complete recovery
- tuberculosis - successful treatment of the infection is associated with complete haematological recovery
- severe aplastic anaemia has a less than 50% chance of survival beyond 6 months
