Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a disease where patients produce antibodies against erythrocytes directed towards membrane glycoproteins adsorbed onto the erythrocyte surface. Drugs and other associations have been implicated. It is described and discussed a case of livedo reticularis associated with AIHA treated with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) that went into full ...

Auto-immune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) has an extensive differential diagnosis though Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) is not always an obvious diagnosis. AIHA can precede the diagnosis of HL for several years. In adults the association of AIHA and HL is more frequent in advanced stages of HL. Warm immune hemolytic anemia is mainly controlled with steroids and chemotherapy. We report a case of a patient wi...

Case 1. Robert Davies, a 50-year-old man, presents with tiredness and lethargy. Examination demonstrates pallor and jaundice. Investigations reveal anemia that is consistent with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA; Figure 1). He has no evidence of any other autoimmune disease or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and is not taking any medications; these factors suggest idiopathic AIHA. How ...

Spherocytic red cells with reduced membrane surface area are a feature of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) and some forms of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). It is generally assumed that membrane loss in spherocytic red cells occurs during their sojourn in circulation. The structural basis for membrane loss in HS is improper assembly of membrane proteins, whereas in AIHA it is due to partial ph...

The present investigation entitled “Effect of different concentration strawberry and beetroot juice on quality storage candy” was undertaken in the Horticulture Department, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Prayagraj during year 2022. treatment combinations viz., T0 Strawberry (80g)+ Water (20ml)+ Geletin (20g)+Sugar (80g), T1Strawberry Beetroot (10g)+ (10ml)+ (25g)+...

Even though clinical features in autoimmune haemolytic anaemia vary according to the type of AIHA, anaemic syndrome stays common for most cases. A positive Coombs test or direct anti-globulin developed 1945 by Coombs, Mourant and Race, is deciding factor AIHA diagnosis. Since immunologic mechanisms causing erythrocyte destruction between AIHAs, treatment also different. Empirical approach with ...

There are many autoimmune diseases associated with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), known as cirrhosis. The association between PBC and hemolytic anemia (AIHA) has rarely been reported. Among the 23 concomitant cases reported since 1970, was diagnosed first in 10 both were almost simultaneously remaining 13 cases. This suggests that there few which AIHA developed before PBC. We report this pa...

Open heart surgery is rarely performed on patients with heart disease complicated by autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) with the aid of an artificial heart-lung machine. We successfully performed radical open heart surgery on an atrial septal defect (ASD) patient with the complication of AIHA.

Case 1. Robert Davies, a 50-year-old man, presents with tiredness and lethargy. Examination demonstrates pallor and jaundice. Investigations reveal anemia that is consistent with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA; Figure 1). He has no evidence of any other autoimmune disease or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and is not taking any medications; these factors suggest idiopathic AIHA. How ...

The association of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a known phenomenon. In many cases of AIHA, no autoantibody specificity is present. The patient’s serum reacts with all of the red blood cell (RBC) samples tested and the autoantibody appears to have broad specificity in the Rh blood group system. Occasionally, RBC autoantibodies demonstrate apparent...
