Abstract
|
|
|
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglouinuria(PNH) is a disorder of the hematopoietic stem
cell that results in the production of a clone of defective red blood cells in circulating
lines.
Clinical and laboratory observations were made in a case of PNH admitted to
Chonnam University Hospital. The patient was 16-year-old female who complained
general weakness and headache.
The peripheral blood revealed anemia with reticulocytosis. Whole blood screening test,
sucrose hemolysis test and Ham's test were positive. Serum bilirubin was moderately
increased. On urinalysis, marked hemoglotinuria and hemosiderinuria were shown. The
bone marrow aspiration revealed decreased cellularity with marked erythroid hyperplasia.
She was treated with transfusion of packed red cells and discharged with partial
alleviation of clinical manifestation.
