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.

Where are Peyer's patches?
They are collections of lymphatic tissues that are found in the lower part of the small intesine. They are involved in producing white blood cells which can fight infections.
What condition affects the ability of blood to carry oxygen?
Anemia is a condition where there are lower than normal levels of red blood cells or hemoglobin, which can reduce the blood's ability to carry oxygen effectively. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
What is nutritional anemia?
A lower blood count due to a bad diet. There are certain nutritional deficiencies which account for anemia. Vitamin B12 in particular.
What is the hematocrit value of the male with aplastic anemia?
lower than normal. 19
Why is artificial blood useful?
Artificial blood can be useful in emergency situations where traditional blood transfusions are not readily available or compatible. It can also be used to treat specific medical conditions such as anemia or hemorrhage, and carries a lower risk of transmitting infections compared to donated blood.
What is associated with decreased hematopoiesis?
Decreased hematopoiesis can be associated with conditions such as bone marrow failure, certain infections, nutritional deficiencies, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and some autoimmune disorders. Lower production of blood cells in the bone marrow can lead to anemia, decreased immunity, and bleeding disorders. Regular monitoring and appropriate treatment are necessary to manage these conditions.
Did king Menes fight for lower Egypt?
King Menes did fight for Lower Egypt. He is the one who unified and ruled Upper and Lower Egypt.
Would the red blood cell count for an individual with aplastic anemia be higher lower or the same as the red blood cell count of a healthy individual?
It would be lower. Aplastic anemia is the result of the failure of the bone marrow to produce adequate blood cells.
Would the red blood cell count for an individual with aplastic anemia be higher or lower or the same as the red blood cell count of a healthy individual?
lower
When did Julius Caesar fight a lower campaign against Gaul?
What is a 'lower campaign'.
What is treatment for macrocytic anemia?
Macrocytic anemia is a condition where the red blood cells are larger than they should be. They are usually larger and there usually is a lower number than there should be.
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
