Atypical polyagglutination associated with an acquired B antigen.
POLYACCLUTINATION denotes the agglutination of red blood cells by most normal adult sera, but not by the sera of newborn infants. This abnormality has been noted most frequently in association with either bacterial contamination in uitro or bacterial infection in vivo. When observed in vivo, the phenomenon usually is temporary, although occasionally it has persisted for months25 or even for sev...
متن کاملAcute acquired haemolytic anaemia associated with polyagglutination.
Polyagglutination is an abnormality of red cells so that they are aggulutinated by most normal sera, except that from very young infants. Polyagglutination occurs in red cells which have been infected in vitro. Rarely it occurs in vivo, when it has usually been associated with severe bacterial infection. There are very few reported cases where polyagglutinability has led to increased red cell d...
متن کاملCirrhosis associated with the Australia antigen in an infant who acquired hepatitis from her mother.
A 19-week-old English girl developed acute viral hepatitis, which became chronic with persistent hepatosplenomegaly and abnormal liver function tests. Liver biopsy at 1 year showed an active cirrhosis with multinucleated giant cells. The Australia (Au) antigen was detected repeatedly in the infant's serum by immunodiffusion and by electron microscopy at the time of the acute attack and during t...
متن کاملAtypical mucocutaneous leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania braziliensis in an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patient: T-cell responses and remission of lesions associated with antigen immunotherapy.
An atypical case of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-associated mucocutaneous lesions due to Leishmania braziliensis is described. Many vacuolated macrophages laden with amastigote forms of the parasite were found in the lesions. Leishmanin skin test and serology for leishmaniasis were both negative. The patient was resistant to therapy with conventional drugs (antimonial and amphotericin B)....
متن کاملBlood transfusion in premature or young infants with polyagglutination and activation of the T antigen.
It is known from the literature that severe haemolytic transfusion reactions may occur in premature infants or young children with an activated T antigen when they are transfused with blood or plasma-containing blood components from donors with strong anti-T. It has come to our attention that in some transfusion centres, the provision of blood or blood components for such infants or children is...
