A 10 month old infant presented with sudden onset of pain and tenderness in right lower limb without any history of fever or trauma. On investigation the x-ray of that limb was normal, Hb was 8.2 Percent, retic count was 0.5 Percent, TLC was 15,5000, MCV was 74, MCH was 23. GBP showed microcytic hypochromic picture. Child was started on antibiotics. Pain and tenderness got relieved but TLC did not come down. What will be the possible diagnosis?
