Drug-Induced Immune Hemolytic Anemia
Drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia occurs when, in response to certain medications, the body's defense system destroys red blood cells faster than normal, reducing their amount in the blood.
How it manifests: It can cause fatigue, paleness, shortness of breath on exertion and, at times, a yellowish coloring of the skin.
Origin: It is related to the body's reaction to certain medications, which act as triggers in sensitive people.
Which specialist evaluates it? The hematologist evaluates the behavior of the blood and the allergist contributes when sensitivity to a drug is suspected. If these symptoms appear while using a medication, it is advisable to discuss it promptly with a professional.
