Abstract

Pancytopenia is reduction in all the three major cellular elements of blood, hence it is the simultaneous presence of anaemia, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Here we present a case of a 28-year-old female, G4P3L1D2 with previous LSCS with 30 weeks gestation with pancytopenia managed with steroids and transfusions.
