We describe a patient with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and no previous history of thrombosis who presented with hepatic venous thromboses and subsequently developed splenic infarction and rupture requiring splenectomy while on anticoagulation therapy for the hepatic thromboses. The
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disease. Patients with PNH often experience a high incidence (14%-40%) of thrombotic events, which are mainly venous and rarely arterial thrombotic events. Because it is very rare, delay in diagnosis is
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare disorder characterized by intravascular hemolysis, hemoglobinuria, and thrombosis. Thrombotic attacks are life threatening and are responsible for nearly 50% of PNH-related deaths. Compared with thrombotic events, bleeding related to
A patient with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria of 14 years duration presented with severe abdominal pain and fever. On admission, his hematocrit had fallen to 19% from his usual level of approximately 30%, and stools were positive for occult blood. Dilated loops of small bowel with air fluid
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is a form of acquired hemolytic anemia with a high incidence of thrombotic complications, generally in the venous district; arterial thrombosis is rare, and exceptional in the coronary tree. We describe the case of a man who had two episodes of myocardial
The case of a 62-year-old diabetic and smoker male who was under study in another hospital due to anemia, thrombopenia and hematuria of several months of evolution is presented. The patient was admitted to the coronary unit for an acute extensive transmural myocardial infarction and treated with
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare acquired disease characterized by clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder, with increased mortality and morbidity. Venous thrombosis is the most common cause of mortality in PNH. The relationship between PNH and cerebrovascular disease is unclear;
BACKGROUND
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired clonal stem cell disorder, leading to a deficient biosynthesis of surface proteins in hematopoetic cells. Clinical symptoms consist of various combinations of intravascular hemolysis, bone marrow failure and mainly venous thrombotic
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (Marchiafava-Micheli disease) is a rare acquired clonal disorder of the hematopoietic cell, to a somatic mutation in the phosphatidylinositol glycan (PIG-A). The most frequent clinical manifestations are hemolytic crisis and venous thrombosis of the mesenteric,
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare disorder characterized by pancytopenia, hemolysis, and thrombosis. Abdominal vein thrombosis is a life-threatening manifestation of this disease. We present a patient with complete spleen necrosis due to thrombosis of the splenic vessels. After
To produce hematopoietic chimeras, 3 young, healthy calves were exposed to whole-body irradiation and, 6 days after irradiation, were injected with a bone-marrow suspension prepared from an unrelated, normal donor calf. Antibiotics were administered daily to control bacterial infection. One calf
A 44-year-old Japanese man having aplastic anemia (AA)-paroxyamal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) syndrome was referred to our hospital because of purpuras due to thrombocytopenia in July 1994. He suffered from pneumonia after admission, complicated with cerebral, splenic, and left renal infarction.
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare, acquired bone-marrow disorder characterized by hemolytic anemia, hemoglobinuria, and cytopenia. Most patients die from venous thrombotic events. Stroke is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in PNH and it is almost exclusively a result of
