A CBC with reticulocyte count shows 1500 white blood cells/mm3. The
platelet count is 12 x 109/L. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy
demonstrates cellularity less than 25%, and the corrected reticulocyte
count is less than 1%. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Anemia of chronic disease
B. Aplastic anemia
C. Myelodysplasia with myelofibrosis
D. Myelophthisic anemia
E. Pure red cell aplasia

A. Bile ducts
B. Intermediate zone
C. "Ito" cells
D. Pericentral vein zone
E. Periportal zone
3..During a routine pediatric examination, a 12-year-old boy is noted
to be in growth arrest. The child is obese, and multiple small bruises
are observed on his arms and legs. The patient has difficulty rising

hypertension when compared to age-based standards. This patient most
likely has which of the following?
A. Diabetes mellitus
B. Grave's disease
C. Hypothyroidism
D. Parathyroid adenoma
E. Pituitary microadenoma
4..A 35-year-old woman dies suddenly. Autopsy findings are within
normal limits except for the heart Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Acute endocarditis
B. Calcification of the mitral anulus
C. Marantic endocarditis
D. Mitral valve prolapse
E. Rheumatic valvular disease
