33 y/o white male with history of type I DM on insulin, PVD, s/p fem/pop
bypass 2 years ago who presented to local ER with bloody diarrhea, nausea,
vomiting 2 days after he visited a casino and was reported eating a raw beef
hamburger. He quickly developed AMS and was intubated for airway protection.
His admitting labs were noted having a marked normocytic anemia and his
blood smear was noted having significant agglutination. He has 3+ warm
antibody presence on DAT. His hgb was in low 4s and he was transfused
urgently with uncross matched blood. He also developed renal failure since
day 2 of admission.
ROS: all (-) except I mentioned above.
SH: (-) X3, construction worker, single, sexually inactive in the last 3
months
FH: non-contributory
What are you differentials? What are the labs you want and what would you do?

any medication history? any current treatment for his PVD?
Sorry to ask so much information.
My first impression is HUS, triggered by E. coli, Camplyobacter etc.
DDX: TTP, HSP, Sepsis/DIC, Intussusception.
First ask for CBC with diff, Peripheral blood smear, BMP, BUN/cr, stool
bacteria culture.

Good thoughts so far. I remember he was taking ASA prior to admission.
I will fast forward a little bit.
All the cultures you can think of are all negative.
His coags were cold normal at the time of presentation and several days
later. His smear showed some spherocytes which is consistent with hemolysis.
There was no schistocytosis.
His white cell were slightly elevated with slight neutrophilia.
His platelet count was normal but by day 3-5 into the admission, it dropped
to 40-50K.
His liver function tests were normal at the time of presentation but AST/ALT
went to lower 1000s range 5 days later.
He had LP which showed high elevated protein 289, there are no elevated WBC
or RBC. Glucose was in normal range. Viral/bacterial/fungal cultures/pcr
were all negative.
His initial CT scan of abdomen was normal but 5 days later showed a small
splenic infarction with mild-moderate splenomegaly.
A++ was correct he had warm ab hemolysis however it does not explain all his
problems. He was started on high dose steroid.
He also had bone marrow biopsy on day 5 when thrombocytopenia developed
however it was pretty much normal looking marrow.
I will throw in some more spice:
1. His ESR was 130
2. By day 7, he became aneuric and he was started on dialysis, his UA showed
large blood but only couple RBCs.
3. By day 7-10, he became pancytopenia with total white cell 1K then dropped
to 0.5K, a repeat bone marrow biopsy was performed which showed:
complete bone marrow necrosis.
What is going on ? What is your differential now?

I like your antiphospholipid syndrome hypothesis.
ANA were sent which were negative.
His aptt was initially normal but later he had mild coagulopathy however
lupus anticoagulant was not present. anti-cardiolipin antibody and b2
glycoprotein ab were not present either.

hamburger just a red herring? Is the agglutination the key?

He did not have fever when he firstly presented but he had some intermittent
low grade fever during the hospitalization, which has been over 6 weeks.

Looks like TTP to me...Does he have any stroke? any head CT or MRI?
last week I did OB in a hospital and saw a similar case like that, so TTP came into my mind immediately...

hemolysis.

I agree with you TTP is in differential. For educational purpose, the
classical pentad for TTP are: thrombocytopenia, mcroangiopathic hemolytic
anemia with schistocytosis, fever, renal failure and CNS findings. This
patient has 4 out 5. He has no schistocytosis on multiple blood smears. Can
you make diagnosis of TTP?

For the benefit of doubt, he was plasma exchanged to treat presumptive TTP.
The ADAMTS13 level was 42% before the first exchange. He also got a 1-2
doses of IVIG prior to plasma exchange.
The ADAMTS13 level of the classic and severe TTP causing this much damage
usually is very low, so 42% is not that impressive.
Finally he was exubated but he remained dialysis dependent. He is
pancytopenic, he is neutropenic with ANC of 0.2. He has more bloody diarrhea
, his platelet dropped to low teens and he required daily blood product.
GI was reluctant to scope him. He is not candidate for kidney biopsy due to
severe thrombocytopenia.
His mental status came back.
His ferritin was above 50,000. His triglyceride was couple thousands.
Come on guys!

glutathione reductase deficiency can cause hemolytic anemia. There is also
a report regarding glutathione reductase deficiency induced hemolytic anemia
and pancytopenia. The triggers could be infection or meds.
Vit B2 is the treatment in this case.

Good job! That is the most likely diagnosis. Blow is the direct copy of
blood paper, How I treat hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis
1. Michael B. Jordan1,2,*,
2. Carl E. Allen3,*,
3. Sheila Weitzman4,
4. Alexandra H. Filipovich2, and
5. Kenneth L. McClain3
The diagnosis of HLH† may be established:
A. Molecular diagnosis consistent with HLH: pathologic mutations of PRF1,
UNC13D, Munc18-2, Rab27a, STX11, SH2D1A, or BIRC4
or
B. Five of the 8 criteria listed below are fulfilled:
    1. Fever ≥ 38.5°C
    2. Splenomegaly
    3. Cytopenias (affecting at least 2 of 3
lineages in the peripheral blood)
        Hemoglobin < 9 g/dL
(in infants < 4 weeks: hemoglobin < 10 g/dL)
        Platelets < 100 ×
103/mL
        Neutrophils < 1 ×
103/mL
    4. Hypertriglyceridemia (fasting, > 265 mg/dL)
and/or hypofibrinogenemia (< 150 mg/dL)
    5. Hemophagocytosis in bone marrow, spleen,
lymph nodes, or liver
    6. Low or absent NK-cell activity
    7. Ferritin > 500 ng/mL‡
    8. Elevated sCD25 (α-chain of sIL-2 receptor)§
His natural killer cell function is absent. His sCD25 is elevated. So he has
7 out 8 from this list. We did not catch phagocytosis from 3 bone marrow
biopsies but it is probably not that important to make the diagnosis on this
case.
My hypothesis is that his immune system was marked dysregulated and
activated by the initial GI infectious agent, this led to what seems to be
autoimmunity with his autoimmune hemolysis, the cytotoxic T cell started
chewing up multiple organs. I believe this is the what it says secondary or
acquired HLH in contrast to hereditary ones that has specific gene mutation.
The treatment of the genetic ones are chemotherapy followed by stem cell
transplant. For my patient, we gave him steroid and later on with addition
of cyclosporin. He has recovered his counts, needing less blood product. His
kidney function is slowly improving.
Finally he requested his case to be written.

it sounds like hemophagocytic syndrome with high ferritin and triglyceride.
It usually does not cause marrow necrosis. I've been thinking transfusion
associated graft versus host disease with marrow involvement. Mortality with
the latter is nearly 100%.
great case.
