A homozygous nucleotide substitution affecting splicing of the TRAC transcript was identified in two affected individuals from apparently unrelated families with autosomal recessive immunodeficiency characterized by increased susceptibility to infections, autoimmunity (vitiligo, autoimmune hemolytic anemia)...
metastatic infection (arthritis, endocarditis, meningitis) or to add to the suspicion of an “atypical” pathogen such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae or Chlamydophila pneumoniae that can lead to such complications as bullous myringitis, skin rash, pericarditis, hepatitis, hemolytic anemia, or meningo...
A higher hemoglobin level may be required in special circumstances (e.g., myocardial ischemia, severe hypoxemia, acute hemorrhage, cyanotic heart disease, or lactic acidosis) • Do not use erythropoietin to treat sepsis-related anemia. Erythropoietin may be used for other accepted reasons • Do...
All children received 2 doses of IVIG (2g/kg/dose). In addition to non-responsiveness to IVIG clinical signs of heart failure were aggravated (tachycardia: mean HR 195/min) supported by diagnostic findings of hemodilution and reduced heart function (anemia: mean HGB 82g/l; ECHO: mean EF ...
The dietary intake of 1500 IU/day is recommended in the first year of life. Here, we report the case of an infant who had been given 62 000 IU/day for 80 days. The infant showed several clinical signs of retinol intoxication, including severe anemia and thrombocytopenia. Bone marrow ...
