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...

Peginterferon (Peg-IFN) alfa in combination with ribavirin represents the gold standard treatment for chronic hepatitis C, but is associated with various side effects, especially hematological abnormalities. We report here a case of severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) complicated by symptomatic myocardial ischemia in a patient with chronic hepatitis C during combination therapy. The worse...

A 43-year-old male with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma accompanied by autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). His blood group was group B, CcDEe. Alloantibody was absent in his serum, but autoantibody, a combination of IgG and C3d type which showed anti-e specificity, was present. Although transient improvement of AIHA was achieved by treatment with 60 mg/day of prednisolone, subsequent worsening of the an...

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), presenting with fever, cytopenia, liver dysfunction, hepatosplenomegaly, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperferritinemia, is associated with various etiologies, including infections, collagen vascular diseases, and malignancies. The present report describes a 28-year-old woman who developed HLH combined with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) at 23 weeks of...

First-derivative photochemically induced spectrofluorimetry (PIF-1D) is applied to the simultaneous determination of binary mixtures of 4 sulfonylurea herbicides in aqueous micellar samples. Synthetic binary mixtures of sulfometuronmethyl with chlorsulfuron, metsulfuron-methyl, and 3-rimsulfuron, respectively, are well resolved by using the zero-crossing point procedure. PIF-1D allows the deter...

SIR, Treatment of SLE is based on a judicious combination of glucocorticoids (GCs) and immunosuppressants. The variety of effective immunosuppressants has increased in recent years, but there is still a percentage of patients with resistant manifestations. Rituximab has been the first biologic drug effective in the treatment of resistant SLE [1 4]. Belimumab appears effective in SLE, but has no...

in order to evaluate the efficacy of maister 3.1% od (foramsulfuron 3% + iodosulfuron 0.1% + isoxadifen-ethyl 3%) in the control of weeds in corn fields, a series of experiments were conducted during 2010 in karaj, zarghan and jiroft. a series of rcbd design with four replications. treatments were application of a) nicosulfuron (kruz) at 2 lit.ha-1, b) bromoxynil+mcpa (bromicid m.a) 1.5 lit.ha-...
