Diphenylhydantoin-induced pure red cell aplasia [PDF]
Abstract The pathogenesis of diphenylhydantoin-induced pure red cell aplasia was investigated in the case of a 32-year-old man who developed pure red cell aplasia while he was under treatment with diphenylhydantoin. The patient's serum IgG purified from serum drawn at the time of diagnosis suppressed normal allogeneic marrow colony ...

ABSTRACT The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the efficacy of cancer therapy, but their associated immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) can severely compromise treatment safety. This review systematically summarizes the core mechanisms underlying irAEs, which include multi‐organ damage resulting from T‐cell ...

Lamivudine-induced pure red cell aplasia [PDF]
The aim of this report is to describe five patients with lamivudine-induced pure red cell aplasia, an association not previously described. We describe patients with unresponsive anemia in whom a complete study including blood cell counts, reticulocyte counts, hemolysis tests, and bone marrow aspiration was performed.

Implant Renal Injury‐Responsive Cells to Supplement Erythropoietin and Protect Kidney Injury
Insufficient erythropoietin (EPO) production in injured kidneys leads to anemia and further exacerbates kidney damage. We constructed an injury‐responsive EPO‐producing (iREP) element that senses signals of kidney damage and drives the synthesis and secretion of native EPO.

This case highlights the importance of long‐term vigilance in patients with thymoma, even after apparently successful resection, as Good's syndrome may manifest years later. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for Good's syndrome in any thymectomized patient presenting with unexplained infections, diarrhoea, or autoimmune complications,

The so-called pure red cell aplasia or hypoplasia may occur in various instances: 1- Congenital form, usually occuring in childhood; 2-Drug-induced types; 3-The forms associated with thymoma, carcinoma and hypogamma-globulinemia; and 4-As an isolated syndrome.
