TLDR
G6PD deficiency should be considered in patients who experience acute hemolysis after exposure to known oxidative medications, infection, or ingestion of fava beans.
Identification of New FLT3 Inhibitors That Potently Inhibit AML Cell Lines via an Azo Click-It/Staple-It Approach.
TLDR
A new class of FLT3 inhibitors is reported, which potently inhibit the proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells at nanomolar concentrations.
Haematological Effects of Non-Narcotic Analgesics
TLDR
It now appears that patients may develop antibodies whose specificity depends on a drug as well as on a component of the blood cell membrane, which would be explained by the autoantigenic constituent of the drug-autoantigen complex.
Medications and Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common human enzyme defect and one of the most common genetic disorders worldwide, with an estimated 400 million people worldwide…
Heinz-Body Hemolytic Anemia Associated with Phenazopyridine and Sulfonamide
TLDR
This case should sensitize the clinician to the development of drug-induced oxidative hemolytic anemia, its clinical features, and its reversibility.
Phenazopyridine-Induced Hemolytic Anemia in G-6-PD Deficiency
TLDR
A case in which symptoms of pheny toin toxicity began two weeks after the initiation of amiodarone therapy and continued to increase until the phenytoin dose was reduced four weeks after concurrent therapy began, and a rapid resolution of all symptoms of toxicity followed.

Pyridium-induced methemoglobinemia
METHEMOGLOBINEMIA AND HEINZ BODY HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA DUE TO PHENAZOPYRIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE.
TLDR
The occurrence of methemoglobinemia and Heinz-body anemia in patients taking phenazopyridine hydrochloride, a urinary-tract analgesic, is recorded and the effects of this drug on human red cells in vitro are described.
Infection as the Etiology of Spongiform Encephalopathy (Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease)
TLDR
Chimpanzee to chimpanzee transmission was effected without reduction in incubation period and retransmission of the disease to a second chimpanzee occurred when an inoculum that had been stored at —70�C for over 2 years was used.
Slow viral infections.
TLDR
The nature of viruses and the diversity of virus-host interac­ tions are discussed before describing examples of chronic inflamm atory, demyelinating, and degenerative diseases of the central nervous system of man or animals in which some knowledge of pathogenesis has been uncovered.
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (Spongiform Encephalopathy): Transmission to the Chimpanzee
Biopsy material taken from the brain of a patient with CreutzfeldtJakob disease with status spongiosus induced a similar fatal encephalopathy in a chimpanzee 13 months after inoculation.
