...D.O. Ho-Yen Auto-immune haemolytic anaemia complicating infectious mononucleosis occurred in a patient with hereditary elliptocytosis. A cold antibody of IgM anti-i specificity with narrow thermal amplitude was identified in the serum and the erythrocytes were found to be coated with complement...

...M.C. Lecomte; D. Dhermy; M. Garbarz; H. Gautero; O. Bournier; C. Galand; P. Boivin According to recent works, hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) appears to be related in some instances, to a defective self-association of spectrin (type I HE). We report a new case of type I HE observed in a white...

... features. Reticulocyte count was rather low. Ferrokinetics showed ineffective erythropoiesis. Biochemical studies on red blood cell membrane cytoskeleton showed that β-spectrin, α-spectrin and protein 4.1, which are usually altered in hereditary elliptocytosis (HE), were normal in our cases. This report...

Saad Hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) is a group of hemolytic anemias characterized by the presence of elliptical erythrocytes. The underlying alterations lie in the proteins of the membrane skeleton. Defects...
