Abstract
Berlin, Byron S., Chandler, Robert, and Green, David: Anti-“i” antibody and hemolytic anemia associated with spontaneous cytomegalovirus mononucleosis. Am J Clin Pathol 67: 459–461, 1977. Hemolytic anemia occurred in a 23-year-old woman with spontaneous cytomegalovirus mononucleosis who had not received a blood transfusion. The patient’s serum gave positive reactions in Coombs’ antiglobulin test with human cord erythrocytes but did not react with adult “O” cells. Complemerit-fixation antibody titers against cytomegalovirus and levels of activity against cord erythrocytes increased as the anemia worsened and remained at high levels when recovery from the anemia occurred.Keywords
