BACKGROUND Hemolysis, icterus, and lipemia (HIL) cause preanalytical interference and vary unpredictably with different analytical equipments and measurement methods. We developed an integrated reporting system for verifying HIL status in order to identify the extent of interference by HIL on clinical chemistry results. METHODS HIL interference data from 30 chemical analytes were provided by ...

We report here 2 patients with chronic nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia (CNSHA) and severe red blood cell (RBC) adenylate kinase (AK) deficiency. One of these patients, a boy of Spanish origin, exhibited a neonatal icterus and splenomegaly and required blood transfusions until the age of 2 years. The other patient was a white, American infant born to parents who were first cousins; he also prese...

A 51-year-old woman presented with progressive severe icterus associated with advanced inoperable pancreatic carcinoma.

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic infection causing clinical and subclinical disease in dogs, humans, and other mammalian species. Although more than 200 different Leptospira interrogans serovars have been identified (11), the serovars most commonly isolated from dogs with clinical leptospirosis in Southern Germany are L. grippothyphosa and L. saxkoebing (3). However, vaccines currently available in ...

Figure 1. A and B: Marked dyserythropoiesis, nuclear bridging, binucleation, and multinucleation of the erythroid precursors. A 14-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital because of paleness and icterus. She had been investigated at different centers for chronic anemia, icterus, and splenomegaly since age 6. She had no history of blood transfusion, drug usage, or fever. There was n...

Introduction: Sickle cell disease (SCD) causes chronic hemolysis which is a risk factor for cholelithiasis. Its development may lead to severe and life-threatening complications. Objective: Determine the prevalence of cholelithiasis, the conditions of diagnosis and related factors.
