Taken together, the patient's high PT and PTT, low fibrinogen, and elevated D-dimer level suggest the presence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The atypical lymphocytes observed in the patient's BM suggested the presence of a lymphoma.
The Battle of Antietam (Template:Pron-en) (also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, particularly in the South), fought on September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, Maryland, and Antietam Creek, as part of the Maryland Campaign, was the first major battle in the American Civil War to take place on Southern Light soil.
Battle of Antietam. Of all the days on all the fields where American soldiers have fought, the most terrible by almost any measure was September 17, 1862. The battle waged on that date, close by Antietam Creek at Sharpsburg in western Maryland, took a human toll never exceeded on any other single day in the nation's history. So intense and sustained was the violence, a man recalled, that for a moment in his mind's eye the very landscape around him turned red.
