Rasburicase-induced Heinz body hemolytic anemia in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Monoclonal immunoglobulin rescue from a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

In order to test whether autoimmune hemolytic anemia in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia was due to autoantibody production by the neoplastic clone, somatic cell hybrids were constructed between the patient's leukemic cells and a mouse myeloma line. Light-chain-restricted human immunoglobulin was secreted by 4 of 11 of the established hybrid lines. No binding of this immunoglobulin t...

Bendamustine-induced immune hemolytic anemia in a chronic lymphocytic leukemia patient: A case report and review of the literature.

Bendamustine is an alkylating agent approved for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. There are scant reports on bendamustine-induced immune hemolytic anemia occurring mainly in CLL patients. We report a case of immune hemolytic anemia that developed after exposure to bendamustine in a 70-year-old female with CLL who was previously exposed to flud...

An Outbreak of Heinz Body Positive Hemolytic Anemia in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients1

During the four month period, from December 1988 to March 1989, there was an outbreak of Heinz body positive hemolytic anemia in 34 patients undergoing hemodialysis in a 500-bed hospital, Seoul, Korea. The episodes of hemolysis were not reduced by changing the charcoal column and reverse osmosis system, or by adding ascorbic acid to the dialysate. The concentrations of nitrate, copper, aluminum...

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia is associated with IgVH status.
