[Immunohematologic studies on the correlations between (+)-cyanidanol-3-(catergen) therapy and hemolytic anemia]

The serological findings of three patients suffering from liver cirrhosis and hepatitis accompanied by immunohemolytic anemia (IHA) are described. As a cause of the observed hemolyses the administration of (+)-Cyanidanol-3 (Catergen) was supposed. In contrast to three cases reported in literature antibodies against Catergen were not detectable, therefore a causal connexion between the development of IHA and Catergen could not be proved.
