G'day Saraxxlynn,
Thank you for your question.
Thrombocytopenia is "a blood disorder characterized by an abnormally low number of circulating platelets (thrombocytes) in the bloodstream." (Answers.com)
Lymphocytopenia is "an abnormally low number of lymphocytes in the blood." (Merck Manuals)
Haematophilia is "sexual attraction involving blood (either on a sex partner/attractive person or the liquid itself; not to be confused with haemophilia, a genetic disorder of the blood)" (Wikipedia Paraphilia) This is also known as a blood fetish or vampirism.
I have attached sources for your reference.
Regards
