In aplastic anemia, the marrow is hypocellular with increased fat. The normal blood-forming cells are greatly diminished, and the cells left in the bone marrow are lymphocytes, plasma cells, and mast cells.

Answer to Question 2

The treatment of choice for a patient younger than 40 years old with aplastic anemia is a hematopoietic stem cell transplant from an HLA-matched donor.
