Therefore, it is important notto immediately confuse the Western idea of anemia as a blooddisorder and deficiency with the Chinese medical concept ofblood vacuity. There is only a pattern of blood vacuity whenthere is not only fatigue but marked facial and mucous membranepallor. Qi vacuity typically complicates or is present inall other patterns of aplastic anemia whether or not the nameof the pattern recognizes that fact.
