Increasing numbers of patients are being seen with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). An abnormal serology with a positive direct antiglobulin test has been observed in these patients and is usually not thought to contribute to significant clinical morbidity. We describe a patient with AIDS who presented with a severe hemolytic anemia which was not distinguishable clinically and serologically from the idiopathic form of autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

Introduction: Eculizumab is a C5 complement inhibitor approved by the FDA for the targeted treatment of four rare diseases, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), and aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G-positive optic neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (AQP4-IgG+NMOSD). The current study was conducted to assess real-world adverse events (AEs) associated with eculizumab through data mining of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).
Methods: Disproportionality analyses, including Reporting Ratio Ratio (ROR), Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR), Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network (BCPNN), and Multi-Item Gamma Poisson Shrinker (MGPS) algorithms were used to quantify the signals of eculizumab-associated AEs.

Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA) is a rare subtype of hemolytic anemia characterized by elevated hemolytic markers and red blood cell destruction. Though uncommon, MAHA can occur as a complication of acute pancreatitis because of the associated inflammatory response. Patients with MAHA secondary to pancreatitis show favorable outcomes when treated with plasma exchange.

Background: Peripheral erythrophagocytosis appears to be a unique sign of acquired immune-mediated hemolytic anemia. It is said to be rare but its prevalence among patients with autoimmune hemolytic anemia has not been studied.
Methods: In this retrospective study from July 2014 to June 2024, the clinical and laboratory features, treatment and outcomes of children diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia were described.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystemic connective tissue disease with a wide range of clinical and laboratory manifestations. The diagnosis of SLE is often challenging due to the great variability in its presentation, and treatment should be individualized according to the patient's manifestations and affected organs. We present the clinical case of a 25-year-old female who developed SLE with severe hematological and renal involvement as first manifestations, including hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and nephrotic syndrome.
