The main symptoms of chronic aplastic anemia include the following: 1. Anemia: Patients often present with pallor, general fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, and shortness of breath, which may become more pronounced after physical activity. 2. Infection: Patients are prone to upper respiratory tract infections, such as bronchitis and tonsillitis. These infections typically do not cause high fever and are relatively easy to control. 3. Bleeding: Bleeding mainly occurs in the skin and mucous membranes, such as petechiae and gum bleeding. Internal bleeding is rare, and the tendency to bleed is generally mild and easily controlled. These symptoms may worsen as the disease progresses, so timely medical attention and appropriate treatment are necessary.
