Overview
Historical Perspective
- In the mid-1500s, seminal experiments were conducted by Richard Lower and Jean-Baptiste Denis on transfusion of blood.[1]
- In 1661, Malpighi observed red blood cells using a microscope and noted that red blood cells were within capillaries.[1]
- In 1663, Swammerdam described minute globules in the blood of a frog.[1]
- In 1673, van Leeuwenhoek described red blood cells in detail.[1]
- In 1769, Morgagni described the case of a priest who developed hemolytic anemia symptoms, which included red urine, pallor, and splenomegaly. However, since simple microscopes could not show red blood cells in detail, further perspective about hemolytic anemia could not be gained.[1]
- In 1843, Andral proposed the idea that anemia was due to possible destruction of blood, which we now know as hemolysis.[1]
- In 1854, Dressler described the case of a 10-year-old child who developed hemolytic anemia upon exposure to cold weather. The boy developed red urine, and exam of his urine under the microscope showed a brown pigment with no red blood cells.
- In 1871, Vanlair and Masius describes a patient who had anemia, splenomegaly, and red urine. They showed that jaundice as a clinical symptoms was due to destruction of red blood cells.[1] They noted microcytes (small cells) in the blood.
- In 1890, Wilson described hemolytic anemia from hereditary spherocytosis. The patient had splenomegaly and quick onset of anemia.
- In 1891, Paul Ehrlich discovered that methylene blue had activity against malaria.[2]
- In 1900, Minkowski showed that jaundice could be from either hemolytic anemia or liver disease.[1]
- In 1920, it was noted that primaquine was an effective anti-malarial medication.

- In 1962, Alving's group showed that acute hemolytic anemia could be triggered by primaquine.[2]

- In 1971, Dacie proposed that hemolytic anemia was due to a failure of immune surveillance, ultimately leading to red blood cell destruction.
