Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pancytopenia is characterized by a reduction in the number of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. A decreased reticulocyte count indicates a reduction in new RBC production, which is consistent with pancytopenia. Platelets at 100,000/mm^3 and RBCs at 3.2 million cells/mm^3 are both lower than normal ranges, also indicating pancytopenia.
