  • Title: Drug-induced hemolytic anemias: increasing complications to therapeutic interventions.
    Author: Wright MS.
    Journal: Clin Lab Sci; 1999; 12(2):115-8. PubMed ID: 10387489.
    Abstract:
    There are recent reports of severe drug-induced immune hemolysis caused by several different classes of drugs. Second and third generation cephalosporins, diclofenac, fludarabine, carboplatin, and beta-lactamase inhibitors are among the drugs associated with severe or fatal hemolysis. Studies on patients who exhibit hemolysis after ingesting these drugs indicate that the four classical mechanisms of drug-induced hemolytic anemia may overlap. These studies appear to support the unified theory for induction of drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia.
