Repeated weekly injections of rat erythrocytes produced autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) in C57BL/6 mice after 5-6 weeks. Using the double in vivo biotinylation (DIB) technique, recently developed in our laboratory, turnover of erythrocyte cohorts of different age groups during AIHA was monitored. Results indicate a significant decline in the proportion of reticulocytes, young and intermediat...

Immune dysregulation is the hallmark of all autoimmune diseases. It is extremely interesting to study the associations and pathogenesis of the various autoimmune diseases, like the link between the AIHA and CLL. This link is well established and is based on the fact that there is loss of tolerance to the self-antigen, which in turn leads to immunebased hemolytic anemia. Around 30% of the patien...

Unlike other autoimmune polyneuropathies, the linkage between chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) and other immune mediated disorders is weak. We report a patient who developed monophasic and parallel courses of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and chronic demyelinating polyneuropathy. Both resolved in tandem with corticosteroid therapy. Distinct from Guillain-Barre Syndr...

Weedy sunflower, Helianthus annuus L. is an economically very important, invasive species widely distributed in many regions of the world, especially areas where sunflower hybrids tolerant to some als-inhibiting herbicides are intensively cultivated. The discovery and development a new technology cultivated increased emergence resistant biotypes due high selection pressure spontaneous hybridisa...

BACKGROUND Many patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) do not respond to standard therapy and/or may develop severe complications which can be of fatal outcome. There is some evidence that erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) may be helpful in the management of such patients. METHODS We describe the effect of ESAs in 12 new patients with therapy-refractory AIHA (7 of warm type a...

The hallmark of the autoimmune hemolytic anemias (AIHAs) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is shortened red blood cell survival. Although AIHA and PNH share the critical feature of shortened red cell survival, the mechanisms underlying this characteristic differ significantly between the two diseases. In the case of AIHA, autoantibodies directed against the patient’s own red blood c...
