A case of a patient who was admitted to hospital in Paris, France, in February 2001 with autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, probably due to artemether-lumefantrine therapy, is presented. Such a complication has previously been observed in patients receiving drugs containing aryl-amino-alcohols but never before in a patient receiving lumefantrine and may be associated with the increase in episodes of blackwater fever seen in recent years.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
