Metabolic reprogramming has been investigated in haematological malignancies. To date, a few studies have analysed the metabolic profile of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH). The study by Chen and colleagues sheds light on the involvement of metabolic changes in the proliferation of PNH clones. Commentary on: Chen et al. The histone demethylase JMJD1C regulates CPS1 expression and promotes the proliferation of PNH clones through cell metabolic reprogramming. Br J Haematol 2024;204:2468-2479.

Magnusiomyces capitatus is an environmental fungus found in soil, water, air, plants, and dairy products which may cause opportunistic infections in patients with haematological disorders resulting in high mortality rates. This series of the first reported cases in Ireland discusses investigation of two patients with underlying haematological disorders, hospitalised in the Irish National Adult Stem Cell Transplant Unit (NASCTU), who developed line-related fungaemias with M. capitatus within a three-month period.

In APPLY-PNH and APPOINT-PNH, changes in fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL; EORTC QLQ-C30) from baseline to Day 168 were evaluated. The proportion of patients achieving meaningful within-patient change (MWPC) on the FACIT-Fatigue and 4 EORTC QLQ-C30 subscales (physical functioning, role functioning, fatigue, dyspnea) was evaluated using anchor-based thresholds.

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired clonal disorder of hematopoietic stem cells induced by PIG-A gene mutations. It is clinically manifested by hemolysis, bone marrow failure, and high-risk concurrent thrombosis, which are life-threatening in severe cases. Significant progress has been made in the pathogenesis research and clinical diagnosis and treatment of PNH in recent years.

This study enrolled five patients with classic paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (cPNH) who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in our hospital from 2019 to 2023. All five patients were male, with a median age of 26 (range: 26-46) years. The median time from diagnosis to allo-HSCT was 5.

Early recognition of acute kidney injury is essential to prevent progression to chronic kidney disease. We present the case of a 19-year-old man with multiple emergency department visits for fatigue, abdominal pain, and intermittent dark urine. Upon admission, he had pancytopenia with elements suggestive of hemolysis and acute kidney injury.
