Abstract

The effect of lithium carbonate was investigated on the five cases of aplastic anemia with measuring of serum level and EKG check. Reticulocyte count increased slightly only in one case. Hemoglobin, WBC and platelet count did not show any significant increase in all cases. No apparent side effect, including EKG finding, was observed.
