The triad of hemolytic anemia, pancytopenia, and thrombosis makes paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) a truly unique clinical syndrome. Intravascular hemolysis in PNH can lead to a severe hemolytic episode with massive hemoglobinuria which can cause acute kidney injury (AKI) probably from
The authors report a 57-year-old male patient who presented with diarrhea, darkened urine, jaundice and increased blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. Initially, his symptoms, which included hemolytic anemia, acute renal failure and low platelet count, seemed to be caused by renal injuries associated
To determine and characterize the histological changes induced in selected tissues from the Fischer 344 rat by acute inhalation exposure to methyl bromide (MeBr), groups of 10 male rats (11-13 weeks old) were exposed to 0, 90, 175, 250, or 325 ppm MeBr 6 hr/day for 5 days. Animals were anesthetized
The case was a 47-year-old Nigerian male who was thought to have contracted malaria in Nigeria and then manifested fever with chill, arthralgia and diarrhea in Japan.

We evaluated the usefulness of enumeration of fecal leukocytes and erythrocytes in making an early diagnosis of Shigella infection, where Shigella is a leading cause of invasive diarrhea. Stool specimens from 561 invasive diarrhea patients were submitted for microscopic examination. A presumptive
In a feedlot of about 1,000 head of cattle, 146 animals died within a period of a few months affected by a disease characterized by anorexia, icterus, hemoglobinuria, constipation, or diarrhea. The clinical course of the disease lasted a few days. Postmortem findings were generalized icterus and a
2,3-Dihydro-1H-imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazole, a DNA synthesis inhibitor, was given to 25 patients in a phase I study. The drug was administered by rapid iv infusion daily x 5 days at 3-week intervals at doses ranging from 150 to 1500 mg/m2/day. Side effects were observed with doses of greater than or equal
A previously healthy 7-year-old white boy presented to St. Louis Children's Hospital with a 1-day history of headache, malaise, temperature of 38.7 degrees C, and a progressively erythematous, tender calf with central dusky purpura.
