Drug induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a well-known complication of drug therapy but it is often misdiagnosed. Drug induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia is difficult to differantiate from classical autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Here, we have reported a case with autoimmune hemolytic anemia might be caused by drugs such as teicoplanin, imipenem and amphotericin B. In our case, on the fifteent...

Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia occurs in a diverse group of disorders, including thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, hemolytic uremic syndrome, and prosthetic cardiac valves. Hemolytic anemia also occurs as a rare complication after mitral valve repair. In this report, we describe a case of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia following myxoma excision and mitral valve repair, which was presen...

G6PD deficiency is a common erythrocyte enzymatic disorder characterized by clinical, biochemical and molecular heterogeneity, being point mutations the most frequently detected genetic defect. Because the G6PD gene is located on the X chromosome, the clinical manifestations of the disease are usually confined to hemizygous men. However, female carriers might also have hemolytic anemia in relat...

autoimmune hemolytic anemia (aiha) is characterized by shortening of red blood cell (rbc) survival and the presence of autoantibodies directed against autologous rbcs. approximately 20% of autoimmune hemolytic anemia cases are associated with cold-reactive antibody. about half of patients with aiha have no underlying associated disease; these cases are termed primary or idiopathic. secondary ca...

Coombs' positive hemolytic anemia is exceedingly rare in tuberculosis. We herein report a patient with tuberculosis associated with Coombs' positive hemolytic anemia that was responded to antituberculosis therapy. She was admitted to the hospital because of recent-onset fatigue, weakness, nonproductive cough, pallor and scleral jaundice. Coombs positive hemolytic anemia and pulmoner tuberculosi...

Favism is a life-threatening hemolytic anemia resulting from the intake of fava beans by susceptible individuals with low erythrocytic glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activity. However, little is known about the metabolomic changes in plasma and liver after the intake of fava beans in G6PD normal and deficient states. In this study, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to anal...

By A. SZEINBERG, CH. SHEBA AND A. ADAM W E EMBARKED ON THE STUDY of hematologic differences between Ashkenazic and non-Ashkenazic Jews#{176}when it was certain that only the latter were victims of hemolysis due to known (Vicia faba, sulpha drugs) or unknown (bacterial, viral?) noxious agents. We assumed the existence of a familial inherited trait of the red blood corpuscle, in addition to which...
