Abstract

In a 4-year 7-month-old boy with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and systemic arthritis a severe haemolytic anaemia occurred after the administration of acetylsalicylic acid. Erythrocyte fragmentation, with haemoglobin condensation zones next to clear zones, was observed on peripheral blood smears. Since viral or bacterial infections were excluded on the basis of the laboratory data, the anaemia was ascribed to aspirin.

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
