Diamond Blackfan Anaemia (DBA) is a rare blood condition usually diagnosed before 12 months of age. DBA patients fail to produce red blood cells properly and may need treatment ranging from monthly blood transfusions to regular steroid treatment, and in some cases bone marrow transplant.
At DBA UK we aim to deliver support, research and hope to the DBA community in the UK by bringing families together, communicating the latest medical information and funding research into causes and cures.
Great news from the Fletchers: Josh is now finally off his immunosuppressant drugs, over 2 years after having a stem cell transplant to cure him of DBA symptoms
