A 31-year-old female patient presents to her GP
suffering from increasing fatigue, shortness of breath on exertion, and
weakness. During the physical examination, the physician notes marked pallor of
the skin and mucous membranes as well as tachycardia. From these symptoms, the
physician suspects anemia, so he takes the patient's blood and has a basic
blood count, among other things, done. The results are particularly
interesting: erythrocytes 2.9*10 12 /l, hemoglobin 90 g/l and MCV
(mean cell volume) 75 fl.
Select the true statement about these blood count results.
