再生不良性貧血是一種骨髓內造血功能受到抑制的疾病,患者可能因為貧血造成身體倦怠虛弱,因血小板減少造成黏膜出血,因白血球減少造成口咽或上呼吸道感染。本文提出一位七十四歲的男性患者,他於2001年2月因長途旅行後全身倦怠和發燒住進振興醫院,在此被診斷為急性後天再生不良性貧血,住院期間一系列血球數均為減少現象,在2001年2月28日紅血球數目為3.05×10^6/mm^3,白血球數目為320/mm^3,血小板數目為17000/mm^3,骨髓抽吸病理組織報告均顯示為再生不良性貧血。住院期間患者口內出現嚴重牙齦萎縮,牙齦潰瘍合併齒槽骨暴露,以及全口牙齒米蘭氏(Miller)第三度動搖,這些症狀在臨床上同時出現很不常見。由於患者症狀日漸嚴重於2002年6月住進本院就診,在給予抗生素之後,接受全口拔牙以及腐骨切除術,術後傷口癒合良好。
