  • Title: Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia in a foal.
    Author: Sockett DC, Traub-Dargatz J, Weiser MG.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1987 Feb 01; 190(3):308-10. PubMed ID: 3558071.
    Abstract:
    A one-month-old Quarter Horse filly had unilateral epistaxis, hyphema, icterus, petechial hemorrhages in the oral, nasal, conjunctival, and vulvar mucous membranes, anemia, thrombocytopenia, negative antinuclear test result, and a positive direct Coombs' test result. Megakaryocytes or cell-associated IgG (fluorescent antibody and immunoperoxidase stains) were not found in bone marrow biopsy specimens. Treatment consisted of glucocorticoids, antibiotics, and a single whole blood transfusion. The foal responded well to treatment, did not develop relapses of the disease, and was clinically normal one year after treatment.
