low RBC count is generally called ANAEMIA.

Anemia goes undetected in many people, and symptoms can be vague. Most commonly, people with anemia report a feeling of weakness or fatigue, general malaise and sometimes a poor concentration. People with more severe anemia often report dyspnea (shortness of breath) on exertion. Very severe anemia prompts the body to compensate by increasing cardiac output, leading to palpitations and sweatiness, and to heart failure.

Pallor (pale skin, mucosal linings and nail beds) is often a useful diagnostic sign in moderate or severe anaemia, but it is not always apparent. Other useful signs are cheilosis and koilonychia.

This student is anemic from what cause? Before this anemia becomes deadly, you will see severe fatigue, dyspnea (difficulty breathing or breathing hard), and change in mental status (delirium). There are many causes of anemia (iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, sickle cell, excessive menstruation, malnutrition, etc.) Usually anemia is measured by hematocrit or hemoglobin level.
