What is "pancytopenia"

n. (context medicine English) A form of anemia in which there is a reduction in the numbers of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets

n. an abnormal deficiency in all blood cells (red blood cells and white blood cells and platelets); usually associated with bone marrow tumor or with aplastic anemia

Pancytopenia is a medical condition in which there is a reduction in the number of red and white blood cells, as well as platelets.

If only two parameters from the full blood count are low, the term bicytopenia can be used. The diagnostic approach is the same as for pancytopenia.
