Autoimmune pancreatitis with concomitant autoimmune haemolytic anaemia

Tumour-induced autoimmune haemolytic anaemia.

of the head of pancreas about half had RES clearance values that were definitely abnormal before operation for relief of the obstruction. After operation the values were lower, and this was so even for patients whose previous values lay within the normal range. Hence Kupffer-cell clearance was increasing postoperatively, and the same phenomenon was seen in the patients with acute cholecystitis,...

Coeliac disease with autoimmune haemolytic anaemia.

Two patients are described who have developed autoimmune haemolytic anaemia in association with their coeliac disease. Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia may represent an extension of immunological disorders linked with coeliac disease, centred on the histocompatibility antigen B8.

Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia in a newborn infant.

The case is reported of an infant with autoimmune haemolytic anaemia of perinatal onset. Combined treatment with steroids and cyclosporin was necessary to improve haemolysis and reduce the high transfusion requirements. Treatment was discontinued at 13 months of age. The child was healthy at the follow up at 24 and 36 months of age.

Antibodies to actin in autoimmune haemolytic anaemia

BACKGROUND In autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA), autoreactive antibodies directed against red blood cells are up-regulated, leading to erythrocyte death. Mycoplasma suis infections in pigs induce AIHA of both the warm and cold types. The aim of this study was to identify the target autoantigens of warm autoreactive IgG antibodies. Sera from experimentally M. suis-infected pigs were screened ...
