Immune hemolytic anemia associated with probenecid. 1985

Upon hospital admission a patient was found to have severe anemia and a strongly positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT). The patient was taking probenecid periodically for gout. An antibody was detected in the patient's serum that only reacted with red blood cells (RBCs) when probenecid was added. Eluates from the patient's RBCs, with and without the presence of drug, were nonreactive. Upon the discontinuation of probenecid, the patient's hemoglobin level improved steadily. We believe this to be the first reported case of immune hemolytic anemia associated with probenecid.

D011339 Probenecid The prototypical uricosuric agent. It inhibits the renal excretion of organic anions and reduces tubular reabsorption of urate. Probenecid has also been used to treat patients with renal impairment, and, because it reduces the renal tubular excretion of other drugs, has been used as an adjunct to antibacterial therapy.

D001788 Blood Grouping and Crossmatching Testing erythrocytes to determine presence or absence of blood-group antigens, testing of serum to determine the presence or absence of antibodies to these antigens, and selecting biocompatible blood by crossmatching samples from the donor against samples from the recipient.

D000017 ABO Blood-Group System The major human blood type system which depends on the presence or absence of two antigens A and B. Type O occurs when neither A nor B is present and AB when both are present. A and B are genetic factors that determine the presence of enzymes for the synthesis of certain glycoproteins mainly in the red cell membrane.
