Abstract

- A 16-year-old female was admitted because of rapidly progressive fatigue, severe anaemia and icterus. The S-bilirubin was 190 mumol/l, COHb 7.3% and high amounts of free Hb in plasma were present. The Coombs' direct test was strongly positive with anti-IgG but negative with anti-IgM and anti-C3. Conventional therapy with very high doses of hydrocortisone i.v., cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, and transfusions of washed packed red cells proved ineffective. During 5 consecutive days she also received i.v. infusions of gamma-globulin (25 g each day). Nevertheless, her condition deteriorated and 3 plasma exchanges were carried out with impressive clinical and laboratory effects. After the 3rd plasma exchange, the patient did not require further transfusions of packed red cells. Therapy with corticosteroids could be rapidly reduced and she was discharged after 5 weeks with a normal blood picture. Since then she has remained in excellent health.
