We describe a 26-year-old female patient, who had attempted suicide with Endosulfan, and who presented to the Emergency Department with status epilepticus. She subsequently developed hypotension refractory to inotropes, intravascular hemolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), metabolic
Trichlorfon (o-o-dimethyl-2,2,2-trichloro-hydroxyethylphosphate), an organophosphate, has a moderately potent anticholinesterase activity. Organophosphate poisoning is well known for its characteristic symptoms and signs, but acute hemolysis caused by trichlorfon is rarely reported. We present a
A 27-year-old gravida 2 was hospitalized in the 37th week of pregnancy because of nausea, vomiting and upper abdominal pain. She had severe thrombocytopenia (600/microliter), haemolysis and markedly abnormal liver functions (bilirubin 7.4 mg/dl, GOT 512, GPT 650 and LDH 1772 U/l), indicating a
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), together with its substantial therapeutic capabilities, carries a higher potential for complications than other endoscopic procedures. Common major complications specific to pancreaticobiliary instrumentation include pancreatitis,
BACKGROUND
The burden of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the United States has increased dramatically over the past 30 years with almost 613,000 patients receiving renal replacement therapy in 2011. That same year, more than 112,000 new patients initiated dialysis with 92% of them receiving
OBJECTIVE
Hemolysis is so rarely associated with Bacillus cereus sepsis that only two very well documented cases have been reported. This article reports two unusual cases of Bacillus cereus sepsis with massive intravascular hemolysis in patients who had acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

A
OBJECTIVE
We report a case of acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) and immune hemolytic anemia (IHA) associated with cefpodoxime therapy.
METHODS
A patient with a recent history of cefpodoxime proxetil treatment presented with elevated serum creatinine, oliguria, nausea, vomiting, and dyspnea.
OBJECTIVE
Administration of diclofenac may lead to immune haemolytic anaemia (IHA) owing to the presence of drug-dependent antibodies and/or autoantibodies. A relationship with oral or intramuscular drug administration is unknown. Here, we describe a patient who apparently tolerated oral diclofenac
From May 13 through May 23, 1998, a total of 30 patients in three states developed hemolysis with or without chest pains, shortness of breath, nausea, or abdominal pain while undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Two patients died. This report summarizes the preliminary findings of investigations in
Hemolysis is something that occurs to a small degree with every dialysis treatment. As we monitor our patients and the equipment we use, we hope that we have looked at everything and that our patients will be safe. We were extremely fortunate that we did not have a mortality related to this event.
Between May 29 and September 13, 1991, 4 patients developed acute intravascular hemolysis during hemodialysis with Monitral-S delivery systems and Hospal BSM A77 blood lines. All had malaise, nausea and headache; 3 had severe abdominal pain and 2 became very ill. Plasma hemoglobins were 3-21 g/l and
A retrospective study was undertaken of 14 patients (eleven men, three women; mean age 52 [33-68] years in whom haemolysis had occurred during chronic haemodialysis (n = 12) or haemofiltration (n = 2). The haemolysis was of mechanical cause in eight patients, by an osmotic mechanism in one, and of
Haemolysis in haemodialysis, although rare in current times, is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. As such prompt recognition, treatment, analysis of root cause and correction of underlying causative factors is crucial. Dialysate, extracorporeal circuit and patient related factors
Red blood cell (RBC) hydration is regulated in part by the Ca(2+) -activated K(+) efflux (Gardos) channel. Senicapoc selectively blocks potassium efflux through the Gardos channel, reducing RBC dehydration and haemolysis, and increasing haemoglobin levels in sickle cell disease (SCD). This
OBJECTIVE
This study was undertaken to explore the spectrum of maternal disease with a triple classification system of HELLP (hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme levels, and low platelet count) syndrome and compare these classes with severe preeclampsia without HELLP syndrome.
METHODS
