He was tested positive for Autoimmune hemolytic anemia a few months ago, but his red blood cells strangely were not being destroyed-all his blood counts were mostly normal with the exception of the coombs test being positive for AIHA. 3 weeks ago he was diagnosed with ITP when his platelet count dropped to 1,000.
Looking at his blood reports for the past few months does show his white blood count to be lower than normal but nothing too drastic. His platelet count is back up to 288,000 after being on steroids for 3 weeks.
With all this though, he now has this "hypocellularity" and I am just not sure if it is because of the other 2 disorders or else if maybe he has something else primary that is causing the ITP and AIHA???
