Case Report: A severe drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia caused by vancomycin
This case, together with previous reports, underscores the importance of considering DIIHA in patients who exhibit unexplained decreases in hemoglobin levels following a new medication, especially antibiotics. A thorough examination of the patient's medical history and the identification of specific drug-dependent antibodies through serological tests can provide crucial insights for diagnosing DIIHA.
