Immune hemolysis secondary to injection of contrast medium

Transfusion

Abstract

Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia (DIIHA) is a rare but sometimes severe side effect. We describe the case of a 32-year-old patient who presented a cardiovascular collapse and a severe hemolysis secondary to the injection of iomeprol, a contrast medium, after a carcinologic surgery. The evolution was favorable after blood transfusion and short catecholamine support. The biology showed drug-dependent antibodies after incubation with iomeprol. This case is the second report of DIIHA with iomeprol.

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.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
