We report a case of a patient with a known hereditary spherocytosis who developed a bilateral macular hemorrhage in concurrence with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-related respiratory syndrome.
Blood tests showed severe hemolytic anemia. Interestingly, the peripheral blood smear demonstrated a mixed pathogenesis of the hemolytic process (cold-agglutinin-mediated and non-immune-mediated due to spherocytosis).
We argue that SARS-CoV-2 could have triggered the hemolytic process, which led to retinal hemorrhages due to endothelial anoxia from the low oxygen carrying capacity.
我们报告一例已知患有遗传性球形红细胞增多症的患者,其在感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)相关呼吸综合征时并发双侧黄斑出血。
血液检查显示严重溶血性贫血。有趣的是,外周血涂片显示溶血过程存在混合发病机制(冷凝集素介导以及由于球形红细胞增多症导致的非免疫介导)。
我们认为SARS-CoV-2可能引发了溶血过程,由于携带氧气能力降低导致内皮缺氧,进而引起视网膜出血。
