Abstract
Aplastic anemia (AA) is a life-threatening hematological disease evident by impaired bone marrow function and subsequent pancytopenia, often leading to considerable clinical complications. Conventional treatments include immunosuppressive therapy and/or stem cell transplantation. Compared to younger patients, elderly AA patients have been associated to lower survival rates, a higher risk of dysplastic development, lesser response to first-line treatment and more severe thrombocytopenia. Some patients pursue complementary therapies alongside standard care to enhance recovery and reduce treatment-related stress. A 69-year-old woman with symptoms of fatigue, petechial hemorrhage and gingival bleeding was diagnosed with idiopathic severe aplastic anemia after a laboratory examination. She had conventional immunosuppressive treatment and adopted homeopathy as a supplemental therapy. Individualized Homeopathic Medicine Phosphorus in 30c potency along with supportive homeopathic medicines Lecithin in 6c potency and Ferrum Metallicum in 30c potency was prescribed to her during treatment. Over 2 years, the patient demonstrated significant hematological improvement and enhanced quality of life. This case illustrates the safe and potentially beneficial integration of classical homeopathy with standard treatment in aplastic anemia. Continued research efforts are essential to formulate integrative care frameworks that incorporate homeopathic support alongside conventional treatment to optimize clinical results and patient well-being.
