Patients who develop abnormalities in their bone marrow are at risk of life threatening infections and bleeding. Some patients may respond to drugs such as oxymetholone. If the bone marrow failure is severe and there is a compatible bone marrow donor, treatment by bone marrow transplantation is possible.
