pancytopenia - (pronounced) (Pan-SY-toh-PEE-nee-uh) condition in which there are below-average numbers of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the blood. Pancytopenia occurs when there is a problem with the blood-forming stem cells in the bone marrow. Signs and symptoms include tiredness, weakness, dizziness, trouble breathing, fast heartbeat, fever, pale skin, purple or red patches on the skin, rash, easy bruising, and unusual bleeding. Pancytopenia can be caused by certain autoimmune, bone marrow, or genetic disorders. It can also be caused by infections, poor diet, pregnancy, cancer treatments (such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy), or exposure to certain toxins, chemicals, or medications
