Which Type of Anemia is Associated with Myelosuppression

Question

Which type of anemia is associated with myelosuppression?
A) Folic acid deficiency
B) Aplastic
C) Hemolytic
D) Sickle cell

Accepted Answer

Myelosuppression is a condition where the bone marrow is unable to produce enough blood cells. Aplastic anemia is a type of anemia that occurs due to myelosuppression, as it is characterized by a reduction in the number of all blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Folic acid deficiency anemia is caused by a lack of folic acid in the body, hemolytic anemia is caused by the destruction of red blood cells, and sickle cell anemia is caused by a genetic mutation in hemoglobin. Only option B (Aplastic) matches with the given explanation.
