Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria associated with infectious mononucleosis.

A previously healthy 16-yr-old girl was found to have pancytopenia, low reticulocyte count, a cellular bone marrow, and a negative Coombs test, all coincident with clinical and laboratory evidence of infectious mononucleosis. Symptoms and signs of infectious mononucleosis subsided, but pancytopenia and hemolytic anemia persisted. Sucrose hemolysis and acid hemolysis tests supported a diagnosis of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). After 18 mo, the platelet count is normal, but leukopenia and hemolytic anemia continue. The development of PNH in this patient suggests it may have resulted from an effect of infectious mononucleosis.

[Auto-immune hemolytic anemia associated with Kaposi's sarcoma. Report of a new case (author's transl)].

The association of Kaposi angiosarcomatosis and an auto-immune haemolytic anaemia is reported in a 69-year-old woman. The direct Coombs test was "igG complement" type positive. This is the 5th reported case and the 2nd in which haemolysis developed during an acute malignant exacerbation of the disease. The patient died less than 4 months following the diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma, after treatment with prednisone and chlorambucil. Lymphoid and immunological abnormalities are not rare during the course of Kaposi's sarcoma. The reasons are discussed briefly.
