Not sure. Looking at some of my son's results and there is a section called CBC (includes diff-plt) and within...

 

Red Blood Cell count = 3.66 (ref. 4.1-5.7 M/uL) Low

Hemoglobin = 11.0 (ref. 12.0-16.9 g/dL) Low

Hematocrit = 32.3 (ref. 36-49%) Low

 

I do not remember the doctor using the term enemia when reviewing the results but I know she used all of the results looking for 'markers' like low vit. D.

Yes, both my twins originally had low RBC, Low WBC, Low Hematocrit, high Lymphocytes..... Dr. K was concerned because they both showed anemic and apparently common theme in PANDAS. LLMD believes both have babesia/bartonella but only one has positive test results.
