Microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia and systemic vasculitis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two cases of systemic vasculitis complicated by microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia (MAHA) are described: this association has not previously been reported. Both patients had atypical presentations of their primary disease, one with parotitis and one with a Guillain-Barré syndrome. Other causes of MAHA were excluded and a possible link with macromolecular von Willebrands factor is speculated upon.

متن کاملMicroangiopathic haemolytic anaemia associated with recurrent pulmonary emboli and benign pelvic tumours.
A 42-year-old woman presented with a huge benign pelvic tumour and recurrent pulmonary emboli associated with severe microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia (MAHA). Following removal of the tumour and anticoagulation, all signs of MAHA disappeared. MAHA may occur when red blood cells pass through abnormal blood vessels in tumours. This patient is unusual in that the tumour was benign, rather than m...
