摘要

Clinical History
Patient: A 65-year-old Asian/Caucasian female.
Chief Complaint: The patient complained of general malaise for several weeks duration. She felt generally healthy but thought that she was becoming increasingly short of breath and easily fatigued.
History of Present Illness: Diagnostic studies were conducted on this patient on an outpatient basis. She was determined to be markedly anemic with combined leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. There was concern for the possibility of an underlying leukemia or myelo-proliferative disorder, so she was admitted to the hospital for a more thorough evaluation and hematologic consultation.
Past Medical and Surgical History: The patient has a long history of stable coronary artery disease (CAD).
Family History: Unremarkable.
Social History: Patient admitted to occasional social alcohol intake, denied tobacco and recreational drug use.
Physical Examination
Vital signs: temperature, 98.1 degrees F; pulse 93 beats per minute; respiratory rate, 16 breaths per minute; blood pressure, 141/84 mmHg. The patient was a well-nourished Asian/Caucasian woman of normal weight. The patient was not in any acute distress, but she felt generally unwell, which was a condition of longstanding duration.
Principal Laboratory Findings: Table 1
Results of Additional Diagnostic Procedures and Tests: Table 2
