Abstrakt: The sex, age, occupation and residence of 251 patients with aplastic anaemia in adults have been analyzed, and compared to those of the french population. The following observations have been done: excess of males at each age beyond the 20th year; excessive frequency after the 50th year; excessive frequency in the rural population and the inhabitants of villages and little towns; but no excess in the industrial workers. These observations lead to minimize the aetiological responsibility of industrial toxics in aplastic anaemia; at the reverse they invite to look for a possible responsibility of one or several agents used in the rural world.
