Two cases of hemolytic anemia with spherocy­tosis were investigated. lnspite of chronic hemolysis tl::crc was no radiological changes in flat bones. Ma­nagement and entity of spherocytosis is discussed m detail in this paper. 

During the four month period, from December 1988 to March 1989, there was an outbreak of Heinz body positive hemolytic anemia in 34 patients undergoing hemodialysis in a 500-bed hospital, Seoul, Korea. The episodes of hemolysis were not reduced by changing the charcoal column and reverse osmosis system, or by adding ascorbic acid to the dialysate. The concentrations of nitrate, copper, aluminum...

We present a case report of 52-year-old male who de­veloped hemolytic anemia after undergoing mitral valve repair surgery. Hemolytic is rare complication repair, occurring in less than 1% pa­tients. Fragmentation the regurgitant jet leading cause intravascular In this particular case, was following anterior leaflet and hitting annulus. The pre­sence schistocytes echocardiographic evaluation hel...

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is defined by the triad of mechanical intravascular hemolytic anemia with schistocytosis, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure. Pulmonary involvement in HUS is known to be rare. We present the case of a 25-year-old male with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and myocarditis followed by atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. In this case, successful treatments included...

INTRODUCTION Rituximab is an emerging treatment for autoimmune hemolytic anemia. We report the case of a patient with a five-year complete hematologic response to a third course of treatment with rituximab. Cases of response to rituximab re-treatments have been reported, but none to our knowledge that failed multiple prior treatments and achieved as durable a response. CASE PRESENTATION A 45-...

By MARY B. COOPER, B.A., M.T. (ASCP) I N 1909, Buchan and Comrie” reported the occurrence of erythrophagocytes in the peripheral blood of 2. newborn infants with ‘ ‘congenital anemia and enlargement of the spleen. ‘ ‘ In 193 I , Abt2 described these cells in blood smears of a case of anemia of the newborn. In 1938, Wyatt, Cooper and Groat9 reported 3 cases of the same disease in which the cells...

In patients with sickle cell disease, thrombotic microangiopathy is a rare complication. Also in sickle cell disease, intracardiac thrombus formation without structural heart diseases or atrial arrhythmias is a rare phenomenon. We herein describe a 22-year-old woman, who was a known case of sickle cell-βthalassemia, had a history of recent missed abortion, and was admitted with a vaso-occlusive...

Published in the Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Science an international journal of laboratory animal science Introduction In vertebrates, anemia is a common hematological disorder associated with several conditions such as drug toxicity, parasites, genetic or acquired defects, and blood loss (Criswell et al., 2000; Jollow & McMillan, 2001). The hemolytic activity of arylhydrazines, ...

Introduction: Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia (DIIHA) is known as an unpredictable and in some cases serious complication occurring upon pharmacotherapy. Cefazolin, as a first generation cephalosporin used against gram-negative bacteria, has rarely been reported to cause hemolytic anemia. Here, we report the first fatal case of hemolytic anemia associated with cefazolin treatment. Material...

Hemolytic anemia can complicate the development of a variety of solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Although patients may have an established diagnosis with documented metastases, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) can be a presenting feature of an occult malignancy. Prompt diagnosis is essential because conditions that mimic the symptoms of MAHA, including thrombotic thrombocytope...
