Yes, patients with classic pernicious anemia can present with anemia, hypersegmented neutrophils, and leukopenia. Pernicious anemia is caused by a deficiency in vitamin B12, which can lead to a decrease in red blood cells, as well as changes in white blood cells such as hypersegmented neutrophils and leukopenia. These abnormalities can be seen on a complete blood count (CBC) test and are characteristic of pernicious anemia.
