BACKGROUND Despite limited data, international guidelines recommend the use of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in neonates with rhesus hemolytic disease. OBJECTIVE We tested whether prophylactic use of IVIg reduces the need for exchange transfusions in neonates with rhesus hemolytic disease. DESIGN AND SETTING We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in neonates w...

OBJECTIVES To determine the longitudinal trends of middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity (MCA PSV) in fetuses with mild or moderate hemolytic disease according to the need for postnatal therapy. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING University referral center. SAMPLE Twenty-three fetuses from singleton alloimmunized pregnancies. METHODS Serial measurements of MCA PSV were per...

A 49-year-old female presented with autoimmune hemolytic anemia and positive warm antibodies. She was diagnosed with chronic pulmonary sarcoidosis. The patient was given prednisolone after which she had complete remission of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and stabilization of her pulmonary status. A review will follow on association of sarcoidosis with autoimmune disease and its possible role in t...

The inherited hemoglobin disorders sickle cell disease and thalassemia are the most common monogenetic disorders worldwide. Pulmonary hypertension is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in adult patients with sickle cell disease and thalassemia, and hemolytic disorders are potentially among the most common causes of pulmonary hypertension. The pathogenesis of pulmonary hyperten...

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...

hepatitis a is common in children and usually is a self-limiting disease.  although extrahepatic and hematological immune manifestations following acute hepatitis a virus (hav) infection have rarely been reported, they are frequently observed in other viral hepatitis. in this paper, we report the case of a 3-year-old girl who developed immune thrombocytopenic purpura (itp) and hemolytic anemia ...

Abstract   Introduction: Hemoglobin Constant Spring (Hb CS),  a abnormal Hb characterized by elongated α-globin chain resulting from mutations of the termination codon in the α2 - globin gene , is the most common nondelitional  α-thalassemic mutation and is an important cause of HbH like disease in Southeast Asia. Case Report: A 9- years-old female with immune hemolytic anemia and splenomegally...

A comparison of New York's traditional communicable disease surveillance system for diarrhea-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome with hospital discharge data showed a sensitivity of 65%. Escherichia coli O157:H7 was found in 63% of samples cultured from hemolytic uremic syndrome patients, and samples were more likely to be positive when collected early in illness.
