Anemia affects red blood cells usually, and doesn't always lower the immune system response but aplastic anemia (a.k.a bone marrow failure) causes the body to produce less red blood cells, WHITE blood cells, and platelets. Therefore, I believe, anemia can lower your ability to fight off infections (if the amount of white blood cell production is lowered). the above answer is true but people with sickle-cell anemia have a greater resistance to malaria. Also aplastic anemia patients have just as much troube as fighting a VIRUS as any other person.

What is aplastic anemia?
Aplastic anemia is a condition where bone marrow does not produce sufficient new cells to replenish blood cells. The term 'aplastic' means the marrow suffers from an aplasia that renders it unable to function properly. Anemia is the condition of having fewer red blood cells than normal, or fewer than needed to function properly. Typically, anemia refers to low red blood cell counts, but aplastic anemia patients have lower counts of all three blood cell types: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. copied from wikipedia
