Severe aplastic anemia is a rare disorder in childhood. Among various therapeutical strategies bone marrow transplantation (BMT) and immunosuppressive treatment with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) have proven to be most successful.

Patients with Fanconi's anemia require a reduced conditioning program with cyclophosphamide and irradiation for BMT. Own experiences indicate that cooperative studies are highly needed to improve medical care for patients with severe aplastic anemia.
