الإجابة: A. Bone marrow biopsy

✓ مطابق للمصدر Step Up To Medicine 6th, 2024 (high blood count).pdf · p. 4

Leukocytosis with anaemia, thrombocytopenia and >20% blasts on the smear strongly suggests acute leukaemia. A bone marrow biopsy is required for diagnosis: it confirms blast proliferation (>20%) and defines the lineage (ALL vs AML).

  • Iron is irrelevant here.
  • Transfusion and antibiotics are supportive measures and do not establish the diagnosis. The sources do say fever in a known acute leukaemia should be treated as infection, so this answer depends on reading the stem as a diagnostic "next step".
