Warm autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and autoimmune hepatitis in an asymptomatic carrier of hepatitis B virus.
Warm antibody autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, a rare disease (0.2-1 per 100,000 populations), is due to the presence of warm agglutinins that react with protein antigens on the surface of red blood cells causing their premature destruction. Here, we present a case report of a 10 year old girl who came with features of haemolytic anaemia and history of blood transfusion since 3 years. On admissio...

of the head of pancreas about half had RES clearance values that were definitely abnormal before operation for relief of the obstruction. After operation the values were lower, and this was so even for patients whose previous values lay within the normal range.

متن کاملAntibodies to actin in autoimmune haemolytic anaemia
BACKGROUND In autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA), autoreactive antibodies directed against red blood cells are up-regulated, leading to erythrocyte death. Mycoplasma suis infections in pigs induce AIHA of both the warm and cold types. The aim of this study was to identify the target autoantigens of warm autoreactive IgG antibodies. Sera from experimentally M. suis-infected pigs were screened ...
