Vitamin-Induced Hemolysis
Case Summary A 47 year-old African American man presented to the hospital with three a day history of fever, shortness of breath, nausea, emesis, dark urine, and progressive confusion. The symptoms began one day following an infusion of a “vitamin complex” at his physician’s office.

متن کاملCobra Venom-induced Hemolysis
Interest in the alternate or C3 shunt complement pathway has recently been generated by a number of reports (1-5). Its presence in invertebrates points to a primitive phylogenetic appearance (6). The C3 shunt can be triggered by high molecular weight polysaccharides in a manner reminiscent of the properdin system (7). Once activated by cobra venom, erythrocytes and other cells can be lysed in t...
متن کاملVancomycin-induced immune thrombocytopenia.
BACKGROUND Vancomycin has only rarely been implicated as a cause of thrombocytopenia, and there is only limited evidence that this complication is caused by immune mechanisms. We conducted a study to determine whether thrombocytopenia is caused by vancomycin-dependent antibodies in patients being treated with vancomycin. METHODS We identified and characterized vancomycin-dependent, platelet-r...
متن کامل9 Vancomycin - Induced Nephrotoxicity
Nephrotoxicity associated with vancomycin administration has been a topic of debate for over five decades (Tables 1 & 2). Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic excreted by the kidney and has been used extensively, especially for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and for many strains of pathogenic staphylococcus epidermis. The nephrotoxic potential of vancomycin is neither ful...
متن کاملMechanism of hemolysis induced by ferriprotoporphyrin IX.
Incubation of a 0.5% suspension of washed, normal mouse erythrocytes with ferriprotoporphyrin IX (FP) at 37 degrees C and pH 7.4 caused potassium loss, swelling, increased susceptibility to hypotonic lysis, and finally hemolysis. Hemolysis was not inhibited by incubation in the dark, malonyldialdehyde was not produced, and various free radical scavengers had no effect on the hemolysis. Only the...
