PURPOSE The nationwide public health registers in Denmark provide a unique opportunity for evaluation of disease-associated morbidity if the positive predictive values (PPVs) of the primary diagnosis are known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive values of hemolytic anemias registered in the Danish National Patient Register. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients with a first-ever...

I T IS NOW evident that the syndrome of acquired hemolytic anemia represents a distinct entity which is separate in pathogenesis and course from the commonly described familial hemolytic jaundice. This distinction, which was recognized by the writers of the early part of the century, was lost sight of by many more recent observers, who suggested that acquired hemolytic anemia was simply a sudde...

BACKGROUND Hemolytic uremic syndrome associated with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7 has been widely known as a common cause of acute renal failure in children. There are only a few reports of sporadic Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli-hemolytic uremic syndrome in adults in the USA. Analyses from the 2011 outbreak of hemolytic uremic syndrome associated with Escherichia coli...

BACKGROUND Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a common cause of acute kidney injury in children. In children, hemolytic uremic syndrome is most commonly associated with gastrointestinal infections caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli or other enteric organisms. Although less common, atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome is triggered by multiple factors and portends a significantly worse prog...

the most common form of acquired hemolytic anemia is associated with what appears to be autologous igg hemagglutinins. these anti-bodies may arise unexpectedly and in the absence of any recognizable underlying disease. however, they are observed not uncommonly as a complication of systemic lupus erythematosis, chronic lymphatic leukemia, lymphosarcoma, ulcerative colitis, etc. 'the red cells of...

streptococcuscus beta hemolytic group a is the most important pathogen causing which may lead to purulent and non purulent angina. rheumatic fever is the most important complication that is the cause of 30% to 40% of cardiac disease and disablement. this study was performed to evaluate prevalence of streptococcuscus beta hemolytic group a and estimate role of clinical findings in children with ...

CONTEXT Hemolytic uremic syndrome is a rare condition compromising the clinical triad of acute renal failure, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Hemolytic uremic syndrome may be associated with a variety of etiologies, and chemotherapeutic agents have also been reported to be associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome, including mitomycin, cisplatin, bleomycin, and most rec...

autoimmune hemolytic anemia (aiha) is characterized by shortening of red blood cell (rbc) survival and the presence of autoantibodies directed against autologous rbcs. approximately 20% of autoimmune hemolytic anemia cases are associated with cold-reactive antibody. about half of patients with aiha have no underlying associated disease; these cases are termed primary or idiopathic. secondary ca...

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.
