If only two parameters from the complete blood count are low, the term bicytopenia can be used. The diagnostic approach is the same as for pancytopenia.
Reticulocytopenia may be an isolated finding or it may not be associated with abnormalities in other hematopoietic cell lineages such as those that produce white blood cells or platelets (thrombocytes), a decrease in all three of these lineages is referred to as pancytopenia.
Diamond–Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a congenital erythroid aplasia that usually presents in infancy. [3] DBA causes low red blood cell counts (), without substantially affecting the other blood components (the platelets and the white blood cells), which are usually normal.
In aplastic anemia, the patient has pancytopenia (i.e., also leukopenia and thrombocytopenia) resulting in a decrease of all formed elements. In contrast, pure red cell aplasia is characterized by a reduction in red cells only. The diagnosis can only be confirmed with a bone marrow examination.
