RESUMO
A anemia hemolítica autoimune (AHAI) é uma doença na qual são produzidos anticorpos diretamente contra as glicoproteínas adsorvidas na superfície da membrana dos eritrócitos. Algumas medicações e outras associações têm sido implicadas. Descrevemos e discutimos um caso de livedo reticular associado à AHAI tratado com transplante de células-tronco de sangue periférico (TCTSP) e que entrou em total remissão por 10 anos. Após esse período, a paciente apresentou recaída, foi tratada com anticorpo anti-CD20 (rituximabe), e atualmente encontra-se em total remissão. O papel do TCTSP e o uso de rituximabe no tratamento de AHAI serão discutidos neste relato de caso.
ABSTRACT
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a disease where patients produce antibodies against erythrocytes directed towards membrane glycoproteins adsorbed onto the erythrocyte surface. Drugs and other associations have been implicated. It is described and discussed a case of livedo reticularis associated with AIHA treated with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) that went into full remission for 10 years. After that period the patient relapsed and was treated with antibody anti-CD20, rituximab, and is now in full remission. The role of PBSCT and rituximab in the treatment of AIHA will be discussed.
