Female patient whose is a 13-year-old, was admitted to the hospital with complaints of progressive weakness and shortness of breath with minimal physical effort. She has experienced recurrent fevers reaching 38.8°C. Physical examination reveals a well developed teenage with good nutritional status and in no acute distress. There is no lymphadenopathy or organomegaly. Many petechial hemorrhages cover her chest and legs. Several bruises are found on her legs and thighs. Laboratory tests were ordered upon admission. The laboratory tests result were as the following: RBC 2.24 X102 /1 Hb PCV Plt WBC 1.2 X109/1 Differential 71 g/ 24% 8.0 X10/1 Segmented Neutrophils Lymphocytes Monocytes Reticulocyte count 2% 94% 4% 0.7% She was referred to a hematologist who ordered a bone marrow examination. Bone marrow biopsy showed a markedly hypocellular marrow with very few hematopoietic cells and there were no malignant cells present. 1- Connect these clinical symptoms with her laboratory-screening test results? 2-Select laboratory tests appropriate for screening for aplastic anemia? 3- Justify the selection of laboratory screening tests based on patient's clinical signs and symptoms?
