Paracetamol related autoimmune hemolytic anemia in a child with rotavirus infection

Abstract

The pathogenesis of antibody directed against erythrocytes induction is un- known, in autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AHA). Connective tissue disorders, lymphoproliferative disorders, neoplasms, chronic inflammatory diseases, drugs, and infections are considered as etiologic factors. We presented a child who developed AHA with concomitant presence of rotavirus infection and paracetamol use. She had no side effect of paracetamol in history. To our knowl- edge, this is the first reported case of AHA caused by paracetamol used in child who infected with rotavirus.
