Autoimmune hemolytic anemia anemia followed by acute granulocytic leukemia (author's transl)

Abstract

The authors report a case of acute myeloid leukemia developping 5 years after the onset of an autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The cytological origin of the proliferation is difficult to assess: the presence of prominent membranous complexes and a strong positivity of acid phosphatase reaction favour its megacaryocytic origin. However the cytological evolution pleads for the development of successive clones of monocytic origin, may be modified by the treatment. Are the two diseases successive consequences of preexisting state of immunodepression or was such a state created by the autoimmune anemia?

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) occurs when antibodies directed against the person's own red blood cells (RBCs) cause them to burst (lyse), leading to an insufficient number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells in the circulation. Discover the latest research on AIHA here.
