We report a case of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (Evans' syndrome) associated with gastric plasmacytoma. Recognition of this rare entity is important because surgery and chemotherapy together may achieve a cure. Possible mechanisms causing the hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia are discussed.

Congenital hemolytic anemia associated fancy. The peripheral blood smear is charwith pyrimidine 5’-nucleotidase deficiency acterized by striking red cell basophilic is reported in two siblings. Both have had stippling. As this feature has been found moderate chronic hemolytic anemia, splein all previously reported cases, it should nomegaly, and jaundice since early inbe the clue to the diagnosis.

common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and an increased susceptibility to recurrent infections as well as autoimmunity and malignancies. idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (itp) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (aiha) are two autoimmune disorders which may be seen in association with cvid. among 85 cvid patients, seve...

By ISRAEL DAVIDSOHN, DAVID HERMONI AND ELEANOR G. HANAWALT H EMOLYTIC ANEMIA was one of the first diseases of blood produced artificially and studied in animals. Much valuable information has been gathered in this way. However, some moot points remain which require elucidation. In this paper experiment-s will be described which add to elucidation of the nature of a hitherto not fully understood...

Cancer anemia is classified as an anemia of chronic diseases, although it is sometimes the first symptom of cancer. Cancer anemia includes a hemolytic component, important in the terminal stage when even transfused cells are rapidly destroyed. The presence of a chronic component and the terminal complications of the illness limit studies of the hemolytic component. A multifocal model of tumor g...

in this study, a 2.5-year-old boy suffering from a febrile seizure with normal laboratory tests and a history of immune hemolytic anemia was examined. brain mri demonstrated some tumors in the frontal, parietal, and occipital lobe that corroborated the pathology results of primary central nervous system lymphoma for the patient. the patient was treated with high- dose of methotrexate. our resul...

Hemolytic anemia is exceedingly rare and an underestimated complication after aortic valve replacement (AVR).The mechanism responsible for hemolysis most commonly involves a regurgitated flow or jet that related to paravalvar leak or turbulence of subvalvar stenosis. It appears to be independent of its severity as assessed by echocardiography. We present a case of a 24-year-old man with a histo...

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a picture of hemolysis which is caused by autoantibodies against red blood cell surface antigens. It is classified as primary, secondary or warm and cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia according to the temperature at which antibodies react. It is usually an acute and self-limiting condition. Here, we present a three-year-old male patient who presented with malaise, p...

BACKGROUND G6PD deficiency is the most common enzymopathy of red blood cells. The clinical symptoms of favism are jaundice, hematuria and haemolytic anaemia that seem to affect liver and kidney in long term. Thus we evaluate kidney and liver function of favism patients in an endemic area of the disease with a high rate of fava beans cultivation. METHODS This study was performed on favism pati...
