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...

Weedy sunflower, Helianthus annuus L. is an economically very important, invasive species widely distributed in many regions of the world, especially areas where sunflower hybrids tolerant to some als-inhibiting herbicides are intensively cultivated. The discovery and development a new technology cultivated increased emergence resistant biotypes due high selection pressure spontaneous hybridisa...

BACKGROUND Many patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) do not respond to standard therapy and/or may develop severe complications which can be of fatal outcome. There is some evidence that erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) may be helpful in the management of such patients. METHODS We describe the effect of ESAs in 12 new patients with therapy-refractory AIHA (7 of warm type a...

The hallmark of the autoimmune hemolytic anemias (AIHAs) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is shortened red blood cell survival. Although AIHA and PNH share the critical feature of shortened red cell survival, the mechanisms underlying this characteristic differ significantly between the two diseases. In the case of AIHA, autoantibodies directed against the patient’s own red blood c...

BACKGROUND Autoimmune neutropenia (AIN) can occur in association with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and/or immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), although these associations have not been studied in detail. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty cases of AIN were found in a group of 55 adults with unexplained neutropenia over a five-year period. Eight subjects with AIN had an associated AIHA and/or ...

Hodgkin's lymphoma accounts for ten percent of all lymphomas. In the United States, there are about 8000 new cases every year. This paper describes a case of lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin's lymphoma (LRHL) manifested by autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). A 27-year-old Israeli male presented with dizziness associated with one month of low-grade fevers and night sweats; he also complained of persisten...

Abstract Owing to the lack of effective POST herbicide options, producers typically rely on nicosulfuron as main grass in sweet corn production systems. In 2019, a Wisconsin producer reported fall panicum control escapes after spraying nicosulfuron. Seeds from mature plants were collected (1) measure response acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides, (2) elucidate resistance mechanism,...

Graves' disease (GD) is associated with various hematologic abnormalities but pancytopenia and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) are reported very rarely. Herein, we report a patient with GD who had both of these rare complications at different time intervals, along with a review of the related literature. The patient was a 70-year-old man who, during a hospitalization, was also noted to have ...
