you're probably right... what about PW ******ation? i think that's at birth also, something about 5p12q?

thanks barone 😍 ... i found a pic in netters that was helpful too!!

If there is a pt with decreased TIBC, decreased iron, decreased HB and an MCV of 80 (I am guessing this is an anemia of chronic dz) who also presents with lymphadenopathy/wt loss... what does he have (is it an extravascular hemolysis or a prob absorbing iron)? I am having trouble figuring out the diagnosis.

Hodgkin's, maybe

.. with an iron distribution problem in the reticulendothelial system
