1. The relative synergic stimulating influence of anti-horse serum sensitivity, non-hemolytic streptococcal hyperergy and staphylotoxin intoxication have been determined in connection with rabbits' reaction to simultaneous injections of lens extracts. These three synergic states are increasingly active in the order named. 2. Heterologous lens extract is a much more powerful antigen than is homo...

As the authors mentioned, this case represents a rare adverse event associated with isoni-azid therapy, namely, isoniazid-induced thrombocytopenia. It is well known that almost all anti-tubercul...

INTRODUCTION Unlike autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), literature on the etiological study of non-autoimmune hemolytic anemia (non-AIHA) is scarce. The incidence and prevalence of non-AIHA in different geographic regions are largely unknown perhaps owing to the lack of perspective investigation and different profiles of etiologies from different geographic regions. We aimed to examine the real...
