Immune hemolytic anemia associated with probenecid.

S D Sosler, O Behzad, G Garratty

    American Journal of Clinical Pathology
    |September 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    This case report details a patient experiencing severe anemia and a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT), likely caused by the medication probenecid. Discontinuing probenecid led to the patient's recovery, suggesting a drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Clinical Immunology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Severe anemia and a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) upon hospital admission.
    • Patient was periodically treated with probenecid for gout.
    • Investigating potential drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia.

    Observation:

    • A specific antibody was identified in the patient's serum.
    • This antibody demonstrated reactivity only with red blood cells (RBCs) in the presence of probenecid.
    • Eluates from the patient's RBCs were nonreactive, even with drug exposure.

    Findings:

    • The patient's hemoglobin levels improved significantly after discontinuing probenecid.
    • This suggests a direct correlation between probenecid use and the observed hemolytic anemia.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • This is the first reported instance of immune hemolytic anemia linked to probenecid.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for probenecid to induce immune hemolytic anemia.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering drug-induced causes in patients with anemia and positive DAT.
    • Suggests careful patient monitoring and medication review when probenecid is prescribed.
