Data Sources: EMBASE (1947-January 2014), MEDLINE (1946-January 2014), and databases from the US Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada were searched, using anemia, hemolytic anemia, hemolysis, and ceftriaxone as search terms. Additional references were identified from a review of literature citations. Study Selection and Data Extraction: All case reports and observational studies describing clinical and laboratory features of CIIHA were included. Data Synthesis: A total of 37 eligible reports of CIIHA were identified, including our index case, and 70% were children. Mortality was 30% in all age groups and 64% in children. The majority of patients had underlying conditions (70%), of which SCD was most commonly reported. Previous ceftriaxone exposure was reported in 65%. Common features included elevated lactate dehydrogenase (70%); early, new-onset hemoglobinuria (59%); acute renal failure (46%); positive direct antibody testing (70%); and anticeftriaxone antibodies (68%). Also, 32% had a preceding, unrecognized, hemolytic episode associated with ceftriaxone. Summary: Given the common use of ceftriaxone worldwide, knowledge of CIIHA, which often goes undiagnosed until late in the course, is essential for clinicians. Based on the findings of this review, we suggest obtaining past history of ceftriaxone exposures and screening for new-onset hemoglobinuria during ceftriaxone therapy in selected patients as potential methods for early diagnosis of this rare but potentially fatal condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1060028014548310","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,27]],"date-time":"2014-08-27T22:59:56Z","timestamp":1409180396000},"page":"1594-1604","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Ceftriaxone-Induced Immune Hemolytic Anemia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Gal","family":"Neuman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sabrina","family":"Boodhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ilana","family":"Wurman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Western Ontario, London, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gideon","family":"Koren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ari","family":"Bitnun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melanie","family":"Kirby-Allen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shinya","family":"Ito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada"},{"name":"The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1060028014548310","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1182\/asheducation-2009.1.73"},{"key":"bibr2-1060028014548310","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2011.03321.x"},{"key":"bibr3-1060028014548310","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s001340000598"},{"key":"bibr4-1060028014548310","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.PCC.0000161285.12396.FF"},{"key":"bibr5-1060028014548310","unstructured":"Health Canada.
