title: Signs of medullar aplasia in the oral cavity: report of case.
abstract: Medullar aplasia is a hematological disease characterized by medullar dysfunction that results in a marked decrease of various hematological cellular elements. This produces anemia, infections of different etiologies and also, spontaneous or provoked hemorrhagic syndromes of varying importance. A case of medullar aplasia affecting a child, diagnosed after a tooth extraction is reported, and accompanied by its pathological characteristics. In addition, an easy reading E.L.I.S.A/ test for diagnosing herpes virus type 1 or 2 is presented.
