In 5 patients, haemolysis was intrasplenic. Red cell deformity could be acquired by foreign red cells transfused into the patient. Association of the two abnormalities (acanthocytosis and glutathion peroxydase deficiency) was necessary for the onset of haemolysis. They progressed in parallel and varied in relation with the severity of the hepatic disease. The relationship between these two abnormalities is unknown but would appear to be dependent upon a factor of hepatic origin.

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.

Ceftriaxone is widely used in clinical practice for its efficacy against infections. However, its increasing association with life-threatening immune hemolytic reactions urge clinicians to enhance recognition and maintain sharp vigilance. This report details a rare and severe case of ceftriaxone-induced hemolytic anemia (CIHA), hemodynamic instability and hemolytic crisis in a 54-year-old woman after intravenous infusion of ceftriaxone following a respiratory infection.

Department of Hematology and Transplantology, Medical University of Gdansk, Gdansk, Poland.
Background: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare complement-driven acquired hemolytic anemia with specific presentations of hemoglobinuria, abdominal pain, fatigue, and thrombosis.
Objective: To review the current therapeutic strategies for PNH, including anti-complement therapy and allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT), focusing on the tailoring of the approach to the disease subtype.
Results: The outcome of alloHCT varies depending on disease severity, thrombotic history, and response to prior therapies.
