Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare, acquired stem cell disorder.
  • PNH presents with hemolytic anemia, thrombosis, and hemoglobinuria.

Observation:

  • A 60-year-old woman presented with jaundice, abdominal pain, and dark urine.
  • Clinical presentation and a positive Ham test confirmed PNH diagnosis.

Findings:

  • The patient was successfully treated with Halotestin and folic acid.
  • This case highlights effective treatment options for PNH.

Implications:

  • PNH should be considered in the differential diagnosis of hemolytic anemia.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment of PNH are essential for patient outcomes.
