Yes, aplastic anemia is considered a rare blood disorder. It affects about 1 to 2 people per million each year. This means that in a population of 1 million people, only about 1 or 2 people will develop aplastic anemia in a given year.

While it is rare, aplastic anemia can be a serious condition. It occurs when the bone marrow, the spongy tissue inside your bones where blood cells are made, is damaged and can't produce enough new blood cells. This can lead to a shortage of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, which can cause a variety of symptoms, such as fatigue, shortness of breath, easy bruising, and increased risk of infections.
