Hemolytic Anemia is a condition where there is a destruction of red blood cells prematurely leading to anaemia with release of bilirubin in to the circulation. There are main 2 types of haemolytic anaemia: acquired and hereditary. There are also different types of acquired haemolytic anaemia such as immune mediated, infection induced, microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia and hereditary haemolytic anaemia such as glucose 6 phosphate deficiency, pyruvate kinase deficiency, hereditary spherocytosis and haemoglobinopathies. Drug induced haemolytic anaemia can be immune mediated where there is formation of autoantibodies against the red blood cell membrane after penicillin or immune complex formation after quinine therapy. It may be drug-dependent or drug-independent. Anaemia can be triggered by drugs such as primaquine, sulfonamide and aspirin in people with glucose 6 phosphate deficiency. Drugs also can trigger the anaemia in auto immune haemolytic anaemia. Eg:-Penicillin produces large amounts of ...

Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA) is a serious and sometimes life-threatening auto-immune condition in which the immune system attacks and destroys a patients red blood cells, causing anemia.. Cause IMHA is caused by an abnormal immune response in which the patients body targets red blood cells for destruction. Primary IMHA has no known cause, meaning the immune system was not triggered to attack the red blood cells for any identifiable reason. Secondary IMHA is suspected when an anemic patient is diagnosed with a new infection, cancer, or has recently been started on medication or received a vaccination that stimulated the immune system. Primary IMHA is more common than secondary IMHA, but because of differences in therapy and prognosis, a search for an immune trigger is generally recommended.. The immune system has both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory chemical triggers as well as recognition of its own cells; an auto-immune or immune-mediated condition is one in which these ...

Mechanical hemolytic anemia is a form of hemolytic anemia due to mechanically induced damage to red blood cells. Red blood cells, while flexible, may in some circumstances succumb to physical shear and compression. This may result in hemoglobinuria. The damage is induced through repetitive mechanical motions such as prolonged marching (march hemoglobinuria) and marathon running. Mechanical damage can also be induced through the chronic condition microangiopathic hemolytic anemia or due to prosthetic heart valves. Repetitive impacts to the body may cause mechanical trauma and bursting (hemolysis) of red blood cells. This has been documented to have occurred in the feet during running and hands from Conga or Candombe drumming. Defects in red blood cell membrane proteins have been identified in some of these patients. Free haemoglobin is released from lysed red blood cells and filtered into the urine. March hematuria, occurs when blood is seen in the urine after repetitive impacts on the body, ...

Mice with normoblastosis, nb/nb, have a severe hemolytic anemia. The extreme fragility and shortened lifespan of the mutant erythrocytes result from a defective membrane skeleton. Previous studies in our laboratory indicated a 50% deficiency of spectrin and an absence of normal ankyrin in erythrocyte membranes of nb/nb mice. We now report genetic mapping data that localize both the nb and erythroid ankyrin (Ank-1) loci to the centromeric end of mouse chromosome 8. Using immunological and biochemical methods, we have further characterized the nature of the ankyrin defect in mutant erythrocytes. We do not detect normal sized (210 kDa) erythroid ankyrin by immunoblot analysis in nb/nb reticulocytes. However, nb/nb reticulocytes do contain a 150-kDa ankyrin immunoreactive protein. The 150-kDa protein is present with normal-sized ankyrin in nb/+ reticulocytes but is not found in +/+ reticulocytes. Our genetic and biochemical data indicate that the nb mutation results from a defect in the

Cold Agglutinin hemolytic anemia due to cold autoantibodies associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae is rare. Optimal treatment includes antibiotics and maintenance of a constant warm environment for the patient. This treatment, however, may result in a prolonged, costly, and confining hospitalization.. We report the use of an environmental suit for a patient with severe hemolysis due to M. pneumoniae pneumonia. This suit provides a constant temperature and has enabled the patient to journey outside his room, despite winter temperatures, yet avoid further hemolytic episodes. Early discharge was possible and has facilitated the patients return to home and work as well as ...

A 34 year old Chinese woman with limited scleroderma presented with rapid onset of mental confusion and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. Her blood pressure control had been unsatisfactory in the preceding 4 weeks despite the use of three anti-hypertensive agents, which included an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor. Malignant hypertension (blood pressure 240/140 mm Hg on admission) was evident, with typical fundoscopic abnormalities, microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia, and rapidly deteriorating renal function with acute oligouric renal failure (increase in serum creatinine from baseline of 86 to 495 μmol/l in 3 days). There was, however, no evidence of left ventricular failure.. Treatment was given in the intensive care unit with infusions of labetalol (up to 150 mg/h) and iloprost (up to 10 μg/h), large doses of captopril (150 mg/day), and haemodialysis. An urgent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain showed marked vasogenic oedema distributed symmetrically at the cortex, ...

OMIM® : 57 Deficiency of pyrimidine 5-prime nucleotidase, also called uridine 5-prime monophosphate hydrolase, causes an autosomal recessive hemolytic anemia characterized by marked basophilic stippling and the accumulation of high concentrations of pyrimidine nucleotides within the erythrocyte.

Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis: 0.4-26% cats. Pathogenicity. M. haemofelis is the most pathogenic feline haemoplasma species. Acute infection often results in severe haemolytic anaemia (especially in young cats), although at other times only mild anaemia is seen. Chronic infection is not usually associated with anaemia. Cats do not need to be immunocompromised or splenectomised to succumb to M. haemofelis clinical disease. Epidemiological studies have only variably demonstrated associations between anaemia and M. haemofelis infection, likely because these studies usually include chronically M. haemofelis-infected asymptomatic cats. Persistent autoagglutination or positive Coombs testing, indicating the presence of RBC-bound antibodies, are found in anaemic cats with acute M. haemofelis infection,1 although these antibodies usually appear only after the start of the development of anaemia, suggesting that they are as a result of haemoplasma-induced haemolysis rather than initiating ...

Hemolytic anemia of pregnancy is a specific form of anemia, occurring usually during the latter months of pregnancy, or during the puerperium.. Despite the fact that these women frequently show a definite blood picture, and the clinical manifestations of primary anemia, it would seem that this disease is a specific type of anemia of pregnancy, because if the patient survives the acute attack, the blood picture usually returns to normal, and apparently remains so. This latter fact definitely removes the disease from the heading of primary anemia.. The literature on the subject is not voluminous, and much work remains to ...

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), including life threatening cases, has been reported in patients treated with LUMOXITI and is characterized by the triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and progressive renal failure. In the combined safety database of HCL patients treated with LUMOXITI, HUS occurred in 7% (9/129) of patients, including Grade 3 in 3% (4/129) and Grade 4 in 0.8% (1/129). Most cases of HUS occurred in the first 9 days (range: 1 to 16) of a treatment cycle, however, cases have also been reported on other days throughout the cycle. The median time to resolution of HUS was 11.5 days (range: 2 to 44). All cases resolved, including those who discontinued LUMOXITI.. Avoid LUMOXITI in patients with prior history of severe thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) or HUS. Administer prophylactic intravenous fluids before and after LUMOXITI infusions.

The hemolytic anemias are a group of disorders in which the red blood cells are destroyed faster than the bone marrow can make them. The term for destruction of red blood cells is hemolysis.

Heritable Hemolytic Anemia/PKD is where the red cells have a genetically controlled defective pyruvate kinase activity. This is not a curable anemia.

Traumatic hemolytic anemia can come from trauma. This causes schistocytes seen on a blood smear. Several medical conditions can cause this form of anemia.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a key regulatory enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway which produces nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) to maintain an adequate reducing environment in the cells and is especially important in red blood cells (RBC). Given its central role in the regulation of redox state, it is understandable that mutations in the gene encoding G6PD can cause deficiency of the protein activity leading to clinical manifestations such as neonatal jaundice and acute hemolytic anemia. Recently, an extensive review has been published about variants in the g6pd gene; recognizing 186 mutations. In this work, we review the state of the art in G6PD deficiency, describing 217 mutations in the g6pd gene; we also compile information about 31 new mutations, 16 that were not recognized and 15 more that have recently been reported. In order to get a better picture of the effects of new described mutations in g6pd gene, we locate the point mutations in the solved three

A G6PD deficiency is an inherited disorder (by X-linked recessive transmission). It can lead to a certain type of anemia known as hemolytic anemia. Anemia is a blood disorder in which the body doesnt have enough red blood cells.. G6PD protects oxygen-rich red blood cells (RBCs) from chemicals called reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS build up in your body during a fever, infection, or when you take certain medications. If your G6PD levels are too low, your RBCs wont be protected from these chemicals. The blood cells will die, leading to anemia.. Certain foods, medications, infections, and severe stress can trigger a hemolytic episode, which is the rapid destruction of RBCs. In people with hemolytic anemia, the body cant produce enough RBCs to replace those that have been destroyed. Your doctor may order a G6PD test if they suspect you have hemolytic anemia based on symptoms such as:. ...

You may need this test to tell your healthcare provider whether you have antibodies that have attached to your red blood cells. You may need this test if you have symptoms of hemolytic anemia after a blood transfusion. A baby may need this blood test if the babys mother makes antibodies against the babys red blood cells and passes those antibodies to the baby inside the womb. This condition is called hemolytic disease of the newborn.. The most common cause of hemolytic anemia is when your immune system makes antibodies to your own red blood cells by mistake. When your immune system makes antibodies against your own healthy cells, it is called autoimmune disease. Symptoms or signs of hemolytic anemia may include:. ...

Question: I have two 10-year-old offspring of a Siamese female and a male black tabby. The father had immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, and its cause remains unknown. The two offspring never have and never will go outside. I havent had them vaccinated since their father became ill in December of 2000. Since they are indoor-only cats (except for visits to the cat clinic for checkups, etc.), should I have them vaccinated? Im worried about some kind of immune illness being passed from the father of these cats, and Im afraid vaccinating them may make them more vulnerable to immune system problems.. Answer: Anemia is a condition in which there are too few red blood cells to carry the necessary amount of oxygen to the tissues. The number of red cells in the blood is roughly analogous to the amount of water in a bucket. But this bucket is leaky, so to keep the water level constant a running faucet continuously replaces the water being lost - the water flowing in replaces the water flowing out. The ...

4- Finally and most importantly, over vaccination is now believed to be at the source of many auto-immune diseases. Although Veterinary colleges all teach their students that following the first sets of vaccines a puppy receives, re-vaccinations should be done every 3 to 4 years and should end when the dog reaches 7 to 9 years of age, Vets continue to send reminder cards to their clients yearly. People dont get vaccinated every year, and neither should animals. Even the department of agriculture of most countries recognises this fact when they require you to vaccinate your dogs against rabies every 3 years. By constantly activating the immune system of our dogs, their cells learn to react against much of their own normal systems, inflicting various autoimmune diseases such as lupus, immune-mediated arthritis, immune-mediated hemolytic anemia and much more...

In medicine (hematology) microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) is a microangiopathic subgroup of hemolytic anemia (loss of red blood cells through destruction) caused by factors in the small blood vessels. It is identified by the finding of anemia and schistocytes on microscopy of the blood film. In diseases such as hemolytic uremic syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, and malignant hypertension, the endothelial layer of small vessels is damaged with resulting fibrin deposition and platelet aggregation. As red blood cells travel through these damaged vessels, they are fragmented resulting in intravascular hemolysis. The resulting schistocytes (red cell fragments) are also increasingly targeted for destruction by the reticuloendothelial system in the spleen, due to their narrow passage through obstructed vessel lumina. It is seen in systemic lupus erythematosus, where immune complexes aggregate with platelets, forming intravascular thrombi. ...

The first deficiency to be demonstrated was a haemolytic Anemia described in premature infants. Infant formulations now contain vitamin E. Haemolytic anaemia is a breakdown of red cells with haemolysis which results in anaemia. There is sequestration of the red cells in the spleen which may enlarge.. A haemolytic anaemia is where the red blood cells are being broken down resulting in the patient becoming anaemic. There are a number of things which can attack the red blood cells. In autoimmune haemolytic anaemia it seems that the body is producing its own attack - that is, it is producing antibodies which it would normally produce to fight infections to fight its own cells. There are a lot of autoimmune diseases of different kinds and this haemolytic anaemia might be part of one of those diseases or it might be a problem in its own right - then it tends to get called idiopathic autoimmune haemolytic anaemia.. Acquired haemolytic anaemia may also be caused by the presence of antibodies ...

SUMMARY Hemolytic anemia is a prominent part of the clinical presentation of patients infected with organisms such as the Plasmodium sp., Babesia, and Bartonella, which directly invade the erythrocyte. Malaria is the most common cause of hemolytic anemia on a worldwide basis, and much has been learned about how the parasite enters the erythrocyte and the mechanism of anemia. Falciparum malaria, in particular, can cause severe and sometimes fatal hemolysis (blackwater fever). Other organisms cause hemolytic anemia by producing a hemolysin (e.g., Clostridium perfringens), by stimulating an immune response (e.g., Mycoplasma pneumoniae), by enhancing macrophage recognition and hemophagocytosis, or by as yet unknown mechanisms. The many different infections that have been associated with hemolytic anemia are tabulated and references to the original studies provided.. ...

Hereditary hemolytic anemia, a dominantly transmitted disorder, has affected 12 family members spanning three generations. The concentration of adenosine triphosphate in the red cells was about half that of comparably reticulocyte-rich blood. Since adenosine deaminase and adenosine kinase compete for a common substrate, the greatly increased activity of the former may interfere with nucleotide salvage via the latter. ...

We have investigated the hemolytic mechanisms in a patient with acquired immune hemolytic anemia whose red cells appeared to be coated with IgA alone. The clinical course was similar to that of patients with hemolytic anemia mediated by warm-reacting IgG antibody. Splenic sequestration of red cells was demonstrated, and marked reduction of hemolysis occurred after corticosteroid therapy. Antibody was eluted from the patients red cells and used to sensitize normal red cells in vitro. These sensitized red cells were not lysed by fresh autologous serum, nor did they fix detectable amounts of C3. However, red cells sensitized by eluted antibody were lysed by normal human peripheral blood monocytes in a system designed to demonstrate antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Monocyte-mediated hemolysis of sensitized red cells was inhibited by the addition of low concentrations of normal serum IgA to the system, but not by IgG. The ability of the eluate to induce monocyte-mediated hemolysis was ...

ABSTRACT. We report herein the case of a 55-year-old man who presented an acute hemolysis following a 6th cycle of FOLFOX regimen for a metastatic colorectal cancer; this patient had previously received 12 cycles in an adjuvant setting. He had presented attenuated signs during the previous cycle. This corresponded to an oxaliplatin-induced immune hemolytic anemia. This unfrequent side effect of oxaliplatin needs to be known in order to avoid severe complications.. 1. Introduction. Oxaliplatin is used in the treatment of colorectal cancer in adjuvant or metastatic setting. The side effects are generally moderate: hypersensitivity, digestive disorders, hematological toxicity, acroparesthesia exacerbated by the cold. More rarely, oxaliplatin can be responsible for immune-induced cytopenia that can sometimes threaten the vital prognosis. We report a rare case of a patient presenting with autoimmune hemolytic anemia induced by oxaliplatin after several months of treatment, with rapid and favorable ...

Spur cell anaemia (acanthocytosis), a rare acquired haemolytic anaemia observed mainly in the end stages of alcoholic cirrhosis, is characterised by an increased ratio of free cholesterol to phospholipid in the erythrocyte membranes that results in multispiculated erythrocytes (acanthocytes). These acanthocytes undergo rapid splenic destruction and consequently have a shortened survival. Recent studies have indicated that alcoholic iron overload may be associated with spur cell anaemia rather than hereditary haemochromatosis. Patients usually need frequent blood transfusions and the prognosis is extremely poor. Liver transplantation, which improves hepatic function and resolves spur cell anaemia, has been the most effective treatment. Our patient did not choose liver transplantation. She had a poor response to conservative treatment with multiple blood transfusions and died of liver failure seven months later. ...

the child was given her second doses of the oral polio virus, hepatitis B, and diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP) vaccines, and within four days she exhibited lethargy, a low level fever, and lack of appetite. She was unresponsive when admitted to the hospital three days later, suffering from severe anemia and low hemoglobin levels. Tests for Haemophilus influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Neiseria meningitidis were negative or did not appear conclusively as cause or contributor to the current condition. The infant continued to experience severe hemolysis and died 41 hours after admission. Although the study could not prove it conclusively, by eliminating other causes of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), the researchers suggest that, in this case, there is a causal relationship to the second DTP vaccination. A 1992 report from the Institute of Medicine concluded, however, that there is insufficient evidence of either the presence or absence of such a connection.. ...

The classic laboratory finding of hemolysis is anemia with an elevated reticulocyte count. The reticulocytosis reflects normal bone marrow function and occurs in response to the premature RBC destruction; reticulocytes are larger than older erythrocytes and have a blue-purple color known as polychromasia (Fig. 433-1). Reticulocytosis generally occurs 3 to 5 days after a sudden drop in hemoglobin concentration but is relatively constant in children with congenital hemolytic anemia. Making the diagnosis of hemolytic anemia begins with recognizing the constellation of signs and symptoms, then obtaining a complete blood count with reticulocyte count, and finally examining the peripheral blood smear. Additional laboratory findings supporting the diagnosis of hemolysis include elevated total serum bilirubin and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; LDH being released from RBCs during hemolysis). Intravascular hemolysis also causes decreased or undetectable levels of haptoglobin, but this test is not specific so ...

Background: The Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency has been considered as the commonest enzymopathic inherited disorder of red blood cells, which affecting more than 500 million people worldwide. The G6PD gene in human is X-linked so males are more affected than females. The mutation in the G6PD gene may lead to the production of a G6PD enzyme that has diminished functionality and/or stability, leading to wide range of biochemical and clinical presentations principally neonatal jaundice and acute hemolytic anemia triggered by an exogenous agent in most cases. More than 176 mutations, and 500 different variants have been described to date for the G6PD gene, however, the Mediterranean mutation c.563 C,T, whether associated with c.1311 C,T polymorphism or not, is among most common variants that lead to enzyme deficiency and often associated with Favism. Objectives: The main objective of this study is to determine the frequency of the Mediterranean mutation (c.563 C,T) and its ...

Non RhD isoimmunization causing severe hemolytic disease of fetus and newborn in Rh positive pregnancies: report of 2 cases with review of literature

If there are fragments, it is consistent with a microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. Fragments are broken apart red blood cells; the red blood cells are broken apart in the intravascular system when there is damage and clot formation in blood vessels that the red blood cells get trapped in and ripped apart. There could also be other indicators of hemolysis including: elevated LDH, elevated indirect bilirubin, and decreased haptoglobin. It is not an immune related cause of hemolysis so the DAT (direct antiglobulin test) should be negative ...

Even though zinc is an essential requirement for a healthy body, too much zinc can be harmful. Excessive absorption of zinc can also suppress copper and iron absorption. The free zinc ion in solution is highly toxic to plants, invertebrates, and even vertebrate fish. The Free Ion Activity Model (FIAM) is well-established in the literature, and shows that just micromolar amounts of the free ion kills some organisms. A recent example showed 6 micromolar killing 93% of all daphnia in water.[4] Swallowing a post 1982 American one cent piece (97.5% zinc) can also cause damage to the stomach lining due to the high solubility of the zinc ion in the acidic stomach.[5] Zinc toxicity, mostly in the form of the ingestion of US pennies minted after 1982, is commonly fatal in dogs where it causes a severe hemolytic anemia.[6] In pet parrots zinc is highly toxic and poisoning can often be fatal[7]. There is evidence of induced copper deficiency at low intakes of 100-300 mg Zn/d. The USDA RDA is 15 mg Zn/d. ...

AIHA is the current problem - in addition to the CLL, of course. Dave has had some ups and downs the last few weeks, and hes due to start Chemo again tomorrow. But Im not convinced that his blood counts are adequate (that he can withstand a round of chemo.) The doctor has been increasing his Prednisone, but based on his appearance, I have a feeling his counts are down again. He had more blood drawn this morning, so tomorrow morning, when we meet with the doctor, well know for sure ...

Potent adjuvanted killed vaccines like those for rabies virus also can trigger immediate and delayed (vaccinosis) adverse vaccine reactions. Genetic predisposition to these disorders in humans has been linked to the leucocyte antigen D-related gene locus of the major histocompatibility complex, and is likely to have parallel associations in domestic animals.. It must be recognized, however, that we have the luxury of asking such questions today only because the risk of disease has been effectively reduced by the widespread use of vaccination programs.. Adverse Events Associated with Vaccination The clinical signs associated with vaccine reactions typically include fever, stiffness, sore joints and abdominal tenderness, susceptibility to infections, neurological disorders and encephalitis, collapse with autoagglutinated red blood cells and icterus (autoimmune hemolytic anemia, AIHA, also called immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, IMHA), or generalized petechiae and ecchymotic hemorrhages ...

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a disease characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. Recent studies have identified a factor H-associated form of HUS, caused by gene mutations that cluster in the C-terminal region of the complement regulator factor H. Here we report how three mutations (E1172Stop, R1210C, and R1215G; each of the latter two identified in three independent cases from different, unrelated families) affect protein function. All three mutations cause reduced binding to the central complement component C3b/C3d to heparin, as well as to endothelial cells. These defective features of the mutant factor H proteins explain progression of endothelial cell and microvascular damage in factor H-associated genetic HUS and indicate a protective role of factor H for tissue integrity during thrombus formation.. ...

The following testimonial letter was translated from Spanish.). As believers in God, we are are sure that Carao was an answer sent by the Lord in response to our prayers. For more than 2 years, David had been taking Prednizolona, in relatively large doses (up to 20 mg. daily) for a child of his age (4 years) and when the dosage was reduced (following the doctors instructions) the autoimmune hemolytic anemia reappeared. On 4 occasions, David required blood transfusions.. When he started taking Carao, he immediately began to improve. read more ». ...

Audience: Oncologists, other healthcare professionals. [Posted 07/14/2008] Genentech, Inc. informed healthcare professionals of reports of several cases of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) in patients with solid tumors receiving Avastin in combination with sunitinib malate. Avastin is not approved for use in combination with sunitinib malate and this combination is not recommended. Twenty-five patients were enrolled in a Phase I dose-escalation study combining Avastin and sunitinib malate. The study consisted of 3 cohorts using a fixed dose of Avastin at 10mg/kg/IV every 2 weeks and escalating doses of sunitinib that included 25, 37.5, and 50 mg orally daily given in a 4 weeks on/ 2 weeks off schedule. Five of 12 patients at the highest sunitinib dose level exhibited laboratory findings consistent with MAHA. Two of these cases were considered severe with evidence of thrombocytopenia, anemia, reticulocytosis, reductions in serum haptoglobin, schistocytes on peripheral smear, modest ...

In a healthy person, a red blood cell survives 90 to 120 days in the circulation, so about 1% of human red blood cells break down each day[citation needed]. The spleen (part of the reticulo-endothelial system) is the main organ that removes old and damaged RBCs from the circulation. In healthy individuals, the breakdown and removal of RBCs from the circulation is matched by the production of new RBCs in the bone marrow. In conditions where the rate of RBC breakdown is increased, the body initially compensates by producing more RBCs; however, breakdown of RBCs can exceed the rate that the body can make RBCs, and so anemia can develop. Bilirubin, a breakdown product of hemoglobin, can accumulate in the blood, causing jaundice. In general, hemolytic anemia occurs as a modification of the RBC life cycle. That is, instead of being collected at the end of its useful life and disposed of normally, the RBC disintegrates in a manner allowing free iron-containing molecules to reach the blood. With their ...

We discuss the case of a patient with PAH of multiple etiologies, and report to the best of our knowledge the first case of APS and factor V deficiency associated with MMM.. The etiology of PAH in this case was not that of emphysema or interstitial lung disease as evidenced by minimal parenchymal involvement on imaging studies. However, negative perfusion lung scan and doppler ultrasound of lower extremities could not exclude the possibility of pulmonary microthrombosis (6,8). Thrombotic microangiopathy has been associated with APS (10,26), and MPD (8,18). In fact, recurrent pulmonary embolism is assumed to be the major cause of PAH in APS (5,10); and, thromboembolism secondary to thrombophilia (in MMM) is well described (7,8,18).. Although titers of aPL were not available in our patient, the diagnosis of APS was satisfied by other major criteria. These major criteria were past episodes of vascular thrombosis (microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, myocardial infarction, and stroke), laboratory ...

Anemia, non-spherocytic hemolytic, due to G6PD deficiency (NSHA) [MIM:300908]: A disease characterized by G6PD deficiency, acute hemolytic anemia, fatigue, back pain, and jaundice. In most patients, the disease is triggered by an exogenous agent, such as some drugs, food, or infection. Increased unconjugated bilirubin, lactate dehydrogenase, and reticulocytosis are markers of the disorder. Although G6PD deficiency can be life-threatening, most patients are asymptomatic throughout their life. {ECO:0000269,PubMed:12524354, ECO:0000269,PubMed:1303180, ECO:0000269,PubMed:1303182, ECO:0000269,PubMed:1536798, ECO:0000269,PubMed:1611091, ECO:0000269,PubMed:1889820, ECO:0000269,PubMed:1945893, ECO:0000269,PubMed:20007901, ECO:0000269,PubMed:26479991, ECO:0000269,PubMed:2836867, ECO:0000269,PubMed:2912069, ECO:0000269,PubMed:30988594, ECO:0000269,PubMed:7858267, ECO:0000269,PubMed:7959695, ECO:0000269,PubMed:8193373, ECO:0000269,PubMed:8490627, ECO:0000269,PubMed:8533762, ECO:0000269,PubMed:8733135, ...

This description of psychotic mania in a substantial proportion of G6PD-deficient subjects attending our department is to be discussed in the context of existing literature. The role of G6PD deficiency in psychiatric disorders has not been definitely established, studies varying from reports of acute psychotic cases [6,7] to surveys of enzyme activity in hospitalized populations [8-10,14]. G6PD deficiency was also used as a traditional X-chromosome marker in linkage studies [4,15-17]. The first study dates back to 1962, when Dern et al [6] reported a not-otherwise-described temporary psychosis during primaquine administration in two G6PD-deficient subjects several weeks after the subsidence of acute hemolytic anemia.. In 1976, Nasr reported two consecutive acute psychotic episodes in a young Afro-American woman [7]. An abstract of the description of the latter case is worthy of mention: She was in good mental health until one week prior to admission, when she started to become irritable and ...
