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.
Antietam was the major turning point of the Civil War. See also Civil War Turning Point: A List of Major and Pivotal Turning Points. The battle was fought on Wednesday, September 17, 1862, and less than 3 weeks after the costly Confederate victory at the Second Battle of Manassas (aka Second Bull Run).
