[MYH9 syndrome and auto-immune haemolytic anaemia: an unrelated association?]
Abstract
Introduction: The MYH9 syndrome is a group of rare autosomal dominant platelet disorders associating in most of the cases a macrothrombocytopenia and characteristic leukocyte inclusions. Clinical features may include renal, visual, or hearing impairment. The bleeding tendency is usually moderate.
Case report: We report a 28-year-old-man, with an auto-immune haemolytic anaemia associated with a MYH9 syndrome.
Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first report of such an association.
