Loss of expression of neutrophil proteinase-3: a factor contributing to thrombotic risk in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria

Haematologica, 2011
Background A deficiency of specific glycosylphosphatidyl inositol-anchored proteins in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria may be responsible for most of the clinical features of this disease, but some functional consequences may be indirect. For example,

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria

Current Opinion in Hematology, 2012
The aim is to report on recent observations related to the natural history of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and to review new therapeutic strategies for controlling the hemolysis of PNH.This review focuses on studies designed to characterize the long-term outcome of patients with PNH treated with eculizumab and to define the relationship ...

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria in systemic lupus erythematosus: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2011
Introduction Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria is an acquired disorder of hemopoiesis and is characterized by recurrent episodes of intravascular hemolysis due to an increased sensitivity to complement-mediated hemolysis.

Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria [PDF]

Blood, 1950
Abstract 1. Paroxysmal noctural hemoglobinuria is believed to be an acquired disease of the hematopoietic system in which abnormal red cells, white cells, and platelets are produced. The lesion of the cells probably involves the stromal proteins in such a fashion that they are susceptible to the proteolytic effect of a sytem of normal ...
