Abstract

Mechanisms of non-immune haemolytic anemia in burn patients: severely burned patients often present with anemia in the early course of resuscitation, requiring the transfusion of red blood cells. One of the causes is a non-immune haemolytic anemia. On the blood smear, there are morphological abnormalities of the red blood cells such as the presence of spherocytes and schizocytes. This case report is an opportunity to review the existing literature on the possible mechanisms of haemolytic anemia during severe burns.
