Incidence and non-drug aetiologies of aplastic anaemia in Thailand

A population-based, case-control study of aplastic anaemia has been conducted in Thailand since 1989. Up to December 1994, the overall annual incidence was 3.9/106 in Bangkok, 5.0/106 in Khonkaen and 3.0/106 in Songkla. In Bangkok, the incidence peaked in 2 age groups (at 15-24 yr and ≤60 yr), where...
