Abstract

A 16-year-old girl presented to her physician with easy bruising during contact sports. Laboratory evaluation revealed an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of 554/mm3, platelet count of 11 000/mm3, and hemoglobin of 7.5 g/dL with an absolute reticulocyte count of 21 600/mm3. She was referred to the
