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.
This page will try to briefly answer these questions hoping to put Antietam in perspective, and to show why it was one of the great battles in American history. The most obvious result of the battle was the incredible loss of life. No other single day of American history before or since has been so deadly. Nearly one of every four soldiers engaged was a casualty: killed, wounded, or captured.
