Dyscrasia




It is still occasionally used in medical context for an unspecified disorder of the blood. Specifically it is defined in current medicine as a morbid general state resulting from the presence of abnormal material in the blood, usually applied to diseases affecting blood cells or platelets. 1

Antimetabolitic Agents such as Leucovorin, Methotrexate, etc. may cause blood dyscrasias.
