Diagnostic pitfalls of drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia
Abstract
Immune hemolytic anemia (IHA) is a rare complication of drug administration. However, its true incidence remains obscure, as there are a number of factors that may lead to misdiagnosis. The clinical and serologic pictures are variable, and there is a great deal of unawareness that certain drugs can cause IHA. Furthermore, serologic results can be easily misinterpreted, resulting in a wrong diagnosis.
