Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia (DIIHA) is a rare type of immune-mediated hemolytic anemia, and mainly it is caused by antibiotics. There have been few case reports of contrast medium-induced immune hemolytic anemia. Here, we report a case of a 70-year-old woman who was admitted with community-acquired pneumonia. She had a CT abdomen and pelvis using iohexol (omnipaque), which resulted in severe hemolytic anemia and contributed to the patient's death. This case illustrates a very rare complication of IV contrast medium that may result in death.
药物性免疫性溶血性贫血(DIIHA)是一种罕见的免疫介导性溶血性贫血,主要由抗生素引起。关于造影剂诱发免疫性溶血性贫血的病例报告很少。在此,我们报告一例70岁女性患者,因社区获得性肺炎入院。她接受了使用碘海醇(欧乃派克)的腹部和盆腔CT检查,结果导致严重溶血性贫血并最终导致患者死亡。该病例说明了静脉造影剂一种非常罕见的并发症,可能会导致死亡。
