CHRONIC FAMILIAL NONSPHEROCYTIC HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA

[摘要] The authors have presented the problems in the diagnosis of an obscure anemia in two sisters which was apparently present at birth. The mechanism could not be established during the initial period of observation. Re-investigation revealed a nonspherocytic, familial, probably hereditary and possibly sex-linked hemolytic anemia.These cases do not fit into any known specific category and are compared with other nonspherocytic hemolytic anemias recorded in the literature. It is suggested that other cases considered to be hypoplastic or aregenerative anemias be re-investigated to exclude the possibility of a hemolytic component.
