Jonathan's symptoms and the tests ordered suggest he might be suffering from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). ALL is characterized by symptoms such as weakness, shortness of breath (due to anemia), frequent infections, and bleeding or bruising easily (due to thrombocytopenia). A CBC with differential and platelet count, along with a comprehensive chemistry panel, are initial tests that can indicate ALL by showing abnormal white blood cell counts, anemia, and low platelets.
