  • Title: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia terminating seven years later in Hodgkin's disease.
    Author: Cazenave JP, Gagnon JA, Girouard E, Bastarache A.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1973 Oct 20; 109(8):748-9 passim. PubMed ID: 4746134.
    Abstract:
    A 64-year-old woman was treated during 7(1/2) years for an isolated AIHA by transfusions, prednisone and splenectomy. The autoantibody was a warm-type IgG with anti-e specificity. At autopsy, generalized Hodgkin's disease of mixed cellularity was found. Only 11 similar cases of hemolytic anemia preceding the development of Hodgkin's disease have been reported in the literature. This association suggests a possible underlying defect in the immune system of the host.
