Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Diamond-Blackfan anemia is characterized by an isolated PRCA and normal cellularity of myeloid cells. Red cell indices are not useful.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Red cells are characteristically normocytic normochromic in aplastic anemia, although occasionally some macrocytosis may exist. Polychromasia is absent.
