Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare acquired hematological disease, is identified by chronic hemolysis due to uncontrolled complement activation. We are reporting three cases-case 1: a 30-year-old male with hemolytic anemia and recurrent hospitalizations for blood transfusion who came with easy fatigability, breathlessness, jaundice, and pedal edema. Case 2: a 28-year-old female with hemolytic anemia who presented with fever, loose stools, reduced urine output, and hematuria. Case 3: a 37-year-old male presented with easy fatigability and jaundice and had splenomegaly on examination. All three cases were positive for different PNH clones on flow cytometry.
阵发性睡眠性血红蛋白尿症(PNH)是一种罕见的后天性血液疾病,其特征为由于补体激活失控导致慢性溶血。我们报告三例病例——病例1:一名30岁男性,患有溶血性贫血,因反复输血住院,前来就诊时伴有易疲劳、呼吸急促、黄疸和足部水肿。病例2:一名28岁女性,患有溶血性贫血,表现为发热、腹泻、尿量减少和血尿。病例3:一名37岁男性,表现为易疲劳和黄疸,检查发现脾肿大。所有三例病例经流式细胞术检测,不同的PNH克隆均呈阳性。
