Abstract

A previously healthy university student presents to Health Services with sudden onset of pain, fatigue, bruising, and a rapidly progressive anemia. There was not any previous significant health history. The case discussion will emphasize the critical overlap of physical and mental health assessments in identifying the cause and cure of a potentially life-threatening health crisis for a young adult student.
