Posthepatitic aplastic anemia (PHAA) is rather uncommon. Most reported cases have developed after non-A, non-B or B type hepatitis. The only case of PHAA occurring after hepatitis A reported so far, was described by Smith et al., who diagnosed it by the long-term elevation of IgG-class antibody in response to hepatitis A virus. Recently, the detection of IgM-class antibody specific against hepatitis A virus (IgM anti-HAV) has been commonly employed for precise diagnosis of hepatitis A. The case reported here is the first case of PHAA occurring after hepatitis A to be diagnosed by radioimmunoassay of IgM anti-HAV. Furthermore, evidence is presented suggesting that the PHAA may have been an immune-related response. Addition of the patient's peripheral T-lymphocytes to cultures of her own bone marrow cells resulted in a reduction in the number of colony-forming units in culture (CFU-C).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role. Cell-Mediated Immunity,Cellular Immune Response,Cell Mediated Immunity,Cell-Mediated Immunities,Cellular Immune Responses,Cellular Immunities,Cellular Immunity,Immune Response, Cellular,Immune Responses, Cellular,Immunities, Cell-Mediated,Immunities, Cellular,Immunity, Cell-Mediated,Response, Cellular Immune
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D003114 Colony-Forming Units Assay A cytologic technique for measuring the functional capacity of stem cells by assaying their activity. Clonogenic Cell Assay,Stem Cell Assay,Clonogenic Cell Assays,Colony Forming Units Assays,Colony-Forming Units Assays,Stem Cell Assays,Assay, Clonogenic Cell,Assay, Colony-Forming Units,Assay, Stem Cell,Assays, Clonogenic Cell,Assays, Colony-Forming Units,Assays, Stem Cell,Colony Forming Units Assay

D006507 Hepatovirus A genus of PICORNAVIRIDAE causing infectious hepatitis naturally in humans and experimentally in other primates. It is transmitted through fecal contamination of food or water. HEPATITIS A VIRUS is the type species. Hepatitis Virus, Infectious,Infectious Hepatitis Virus,Hepatitis Viruses, Infectious,Hepatoviruses,Infectious Hepatitis Viruses
