Two Cases of Chronic Hemolytic Anemia Associated with Spherocytosis

Two cases of hemolytic anemia with spherocy­tosis were investigated. lnspite of chronic hemolysis tl::crc was no radiological changes in flat bones. Ma­nagement and entity of spherocytosis is discussed m detail in this paper. 

Ceftriaxone-induced hemolytic anemia in a child successfully managed with intravenous immunoglobulin.

Drug-induced hemolytic anemia is an immune-mediated phenomenon that leads to the destruction of red blood cells. Here, we present a case of life-threatening ceftriaxone-induced hemolytic anemia (CIHA) in a previously healthy 3-year-old girl. We also reviewed the literature to summarize the clinical features and treatment of hemolytic anemia. Acute hemolysis is a rare side effect of ceftriaxone ...

Hemolytic anemia associated with low erythrocyte ATP.

Immune hemolytic anemia associated with drug therapy.

Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia (DIIHA) is rare; it can be mild or associated with acute severe hemolytic anemia (HA) and death. About 125 drugs have been implicated as the cause. The HA can be caused by drug-independent antibodies that are indistinguishable, in vitro and in vivo, from autoantibodies causing idiopathic warm type autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). More commonly, the antibo...

Multiple myeloma associated with autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

A rare case of multiple myeloma associated with severe Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia is described. A 60-year-old woman was hospitalized for acute hemolysis due to an IgG warm autoantibody with pan-agglutinin specificity. Serum and urine electrophoresis revealed the presence of a monoclonal IgGk protein and a BJk protein, respectively. Bone marrow aspirates showed diffuse infiltration with pl...
