Hello @timroelofs Viral infections, such as mononucleosis
Bacterial infections, such as syphilis or an infection of your heart's inner lining (endocarditis) or Parasitic infections such as malaria can also cause an enlarged spleen so perhaps they’re trying to rule out a possible link there?
You mentioned besides the spleen, that you have low RBC and low platelets, how about your WBC~lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils? Have labs been run for latent viral lodes like EBV, CMV, hepatitis?
What other tests have you had run besides basic CBC?

Had so many cbc tests had too look at medical files. Sarcoidosis, thrombocytopenia and anemic diagnosed 2020
Wbc 3.7, Rbc 3.99,neutrophil 49.4, hemoglobin 12.9, hemocritic 39.5. Negative on all hepatitis tests. Last week had a D -dimer test 842,rushed back to ER said it was a okay , no PE or DVT present.
Spleen enlarged at 18.9cm, had bone marrow biopsy and bronchospy all negative. Just nervous on what it all may be. Been a blood issue concern since 2010 with little to no answers on whats happening.
