Abstract
Background: Most of the autoantibodies that cause autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) are non-specific. Autoantibodies expressing alloantibody specificity are rare.
Methods: We present the case of a 4-year-old boy with no history of blood transfusion or underlying medical conditions who developed AIHA caused by autoantibody with mimicking anti-D and anti-C specificity.
Results: Following treatment with methylprednisolone sodium succinate and transfusion of red blood cells with negative antigens for D and C, along with administration of human immunoglobulin, the patient's condition gradually improved. He was ultimately discharged with a good prognosis.
Conclusions: This report highlights a rare case of AIHA characterized by autoantibody with mimicking anti-D and anti-C specificity. Treatments of these patients could be antigen-negative red blood cells, glucocorticoid and immunoglobulin.
背景:导致自身免疫性溶血性贫血(AIHA)的自身抗体大多是非特异性的。表达同种抗体特异性的自身抗体非常罕见:我们报告了一例4岁男孩的病例,该男孩无输血史或基础疾病,却因自身抗体具有模仿抗D和抗C的特异性而导致自身免疫性溶血性贫血:结果:在接受甲泼尼龙琥珀酸钠治疗、输注D和C抗原阴性的红细胞以及注射人免疫球蛋白后,患者的病情逐渐好转。患者最终出院,预后良好:本报告强调了一种罕见的 AIHA 病例,其特点是自身抗体具有模仿抗 D 和抗 C 的特异性。对这些患者的治疗可采用抗原阴性红细胞、糖皮质激素和免疫球蛋白。
期刊介绍:
Clinical Laboratory is an international fully peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of laboratory medicine and transfusion medicine. In addition to transfusion medicine topics Clinical Laboratory represents submissions concerning tissue transplantation and hematopoietic, cellular and gene therapies. The journal publishes original articles, review articles, posters, short reports, case studies and letters to the editor dealing with 1) the scientific background, implementation and diagnostic significance of laboratory methods employed in hospitals, blood banks and physicians'' offices and with 2) scientific, administrative and clinical aspects of transfusion medicine and 3) in addition to transfusion medicine topics Clinical Laboratory represents submissions concerning tissue transplantation and hematopoietic, cellular and gene therapies.
