Answer 1

Allen’s blood report showed an abnormal decrease in the number of R.B.C. He is suffering from erythropenia.

Explanation:

Erythropenia is a condition in which there is an abnormal decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBCs) in the blood. Since RBCs are responsible for carrying oxygen to different parts of the body, their reduced count can lead to weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. In contrast, polycythemia means an increase in RBCs, glycosuria refers to sugar in urine, and haemophilia is a bleeding disorder. Hence, Allen is suffering from erythropenia.
