Immunohistochemical Analysis of p53, CD10 and Ki67 Expression as Prognostic Biomarkers in Urinary Bladder Carcinomas Correlating with Age, Histomorphology, Grade and Stage: An Institutional Study of One and Half Year.

An event of Evans even in HIV.

Autoimmune cytopenias may be the initial presentation in patients with HIV infection or can develop while on treatment with antiretroviral therapy (ART). These cytopenias usually resolve after initiation of ART. We report a rare case of HIV who presented with Evans syndrome on ART, being refractory to steroids and rituximab but with response to splenectomy.

Masquerading of mismatched blood transfusion by underlying autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

Mismatched blood transfusion due to immunohematological discrepancy is relatively uncommon and in most instances occurs due to Type IV blood group discrepancy which is the discrepancies between forward and reverse groupings. Here, we present a case of a 15-year-old girl with preexisting autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) who inadvertently received 3 units of wrongly matched packed red blood cell (PRBC), followed by severe intravascular hemolysis. On detailed immunohematological investigation, the patient was found to be autoimmunized and diagnosed with "mixed AIHA" and the patient's blood group was confirmed as "A" positive.

Low socioeconomic status, poor knowledge and awareness on obstetric complications, lack of decision-making autonomy, and limited health care options lead to underutilization of existing maternal health care service.
