differential blood count (under the microscope)
Diffmik is almost certainly short for "mikroskopisches Differentialblutbild" (or, according to "new" German spelling rules, "Differenzialblutbild"), i.e. a differential blood count carried out under the microscope. No idea as regards the meaning of OH but I tend to agree with the discussion entry - perhaps an internal (departmental) abbreviation.
Compare http://www.charite.de/rv/imed/differentialblutbild.htm and http://www.umm.edu/blood/blood.htm

Orthostatic Hypotension
I agree with Steffen on the differential blood count (under the microscope)!
OH could also stand for Orthostatic Hypotension. The diagnosis of Orthostatic Hypotension includes blood count tests.

: I would bet that's not it. No offense. :) I happen to know that in orthostatic hypotension the differential count, as well as the rest of the CBC, is normal.

Could perhaps be confirmed if the asked told us the diagnosis or at least some further context.
