چکیده
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is rarely associated with ulcerative colitis, and counts only for 0.2-0.7% of adult patient.Coombs positive autoimmune which account 1.82% in patient colitis without any evidence(1). Here we report a case sever Coombs (AIHA) response to Infliximab.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia associated with infliximab infusion in ulcerative colitis
Infliximab is a monoclonal antibody that antagonizes the activity of tumor necrosis factor alpha to induce and maintain remission in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Adverse effects associated with Infliximab infusions include infusion reactions, risk of infections, development of hematological malignancies, and pancytopenia. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia has rarely been reported in ulce...
متن کاملSevere Coombs positive autoimmune haemolytic anaemia associated with ulcerative colitis.
We describe a case of severe autoimmune haemolytic anaemia developing in newly diagnosed ulcerative colitis of moderate severity. Full immunosuppression with steroids and azathioprine failed to bring about a full remission and a splenectomy was performed which resulted in a remission enabling immunosuppression to be discontinued. This case is compared with three previously described cases of au...
متن کاملMultiple 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...
متن کاملMonophasic CIDP Associated with Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia.
Unlike other autoimmune polyneuropathies, the linkage between chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and other immune mediated disorders is weak. We report a patient who developed monophasic and parallel courses of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and chronic demyelinating polyneuropathy. Both resolved in tandem with corticosteroid therapy. Distinct from Guillain-Barre Syndr...
متن کاملDirect antiglobulin ("Coombs") test-negative autoimmune hemolytic anemia: a review.
We have reviewed the literature to identify and characterize reports of warm-antibody type, autoimmune hemolytic anemia in which the standard direct antiglobulin reaction was negative but a confirmatory test indicated that the red cells were opsonized with antibody. Three principal reasons account for the absence of a positive direct antiglobulin test in these cases: a) IgG sensitization below ...
