Abstract
A 30-year-old female with chronic hepatitis C treated with recombinant alpha-interferon developed serious hemolytic anemia after receiving 10 million units a day for 4 weeks. The results of Coombs' tests were negative before and after interferon therapy. The hemolytic anemia gradually improved after the withdrawal of recombinant alpha-interferon and the administration of methyl-prednisolone. The clinical course suggested that the recombinant alpha-interferon had provoked the hemolytic anemia.Entities:
