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.Iatrogenic causes of
pancytopenia include chemotherapy for malignancies if the drug or drugs
used cause bone marrow suppression. Rarely, drugs (antibiotics, blood
pressure medication, heart medication) can cause pancytopenia. The
antibiotic Linezolid can cause pancytopenia in some individuals.
