Recurrent acute myocardial and renal infarction with aplastic anaemia/paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria syndrome: a case report
Thrombosis due to PNH can recur even after the administration of anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents and has been associated with a high fatality rate. The treatment with ravulizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against complement C5, helps with the prevention of thrombosis. Furthermore, anti-complement component C5 therapy is very effective in improving rapidly progressive multiple arterial thrombosis resistant to anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents due to PNH.
