EDTA dependent red cell neutrophil rosetting in autoimmune haemolytic anaemia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) dependent platelet-neutrophil rosetting is a well-known but infrequently reported in vitro blood abnormality. We describe a patient with autoimmune haemolytic anaemia in whom EDTA dependent red cell-neutrophil rosettes were a persistent blood film feature.

A case of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia achieving complete response with rituximab.
Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia is characterised by the formation of auto-antibodies that bind to the erythrocyte surface membrane, leading to haemolysis. It is the main cause of acquired extracorpuscular haemolysis in children. It can be classified according to the characteristic temperature reactivity of the red blood cell auto-antibody in warm-antibody autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (reacting a...
متن کاملTissue-specific autoantibodies in haemolytic anaemia.
There has been a renewal of interest in recent years in the pathogenesis of antibody-mediated red cell destruction. Most of the experimental work has been done with alloantibodies, but assumedly autoantibodies lead to red cell destruction in a similar manner. This paper attempts to correlate the results of these experiments with the findings in patients with positive antiglobulin tests and auto...
متن کاملManagement of cold haemolytic syndrome.
Most haemolytic disease is mediated by immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies and leads to red blood cell destruction outside of the circulatory system. However, rare syndromes, such as paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria, show IgG antibodies causing intravascular destruction. Haemolysis may also occur because of immunoglobulin M antibodies. Historically, these antibodies have been termed 'cold agglutin...
متن کاملA physician's guide to transfusion in autoimmune haemolytic anaemia.
Patients with autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) frequently have anaemia of sufficient severity as to require a blood transfusion. However, it is impossible to find compatible blood when, as is frequently the case, the autoantibody in the patient's serum reacts with all normal red blood cells. Further, the autoantibody may mask the presence of a red cell alloantibody capable of causing a haem...
متن کاملValue of surface counting in predicting response to splenectomy in haemolytic anaemia.
The value of surface counting with (51)Cr-labelled red cells in predicting response to splenectomy in haemolytic anaemia has been analysed in 18 cases. The cases included six patients with congenital haemolytic anaemias, four with primary autoimmune haemolytic anaemias, and eight patients with secondary haemolytic anaemias (four with a positive antiglobulin test). All patients showed evidence o...
