title: Haemolytic anaemia due to pyrimidine-5'-nucleotidase deficiency.
abstract: Haemolytic anaemia due to pyrimidine-5'-nucleotidase deficiency was favourably affected by splenectomy. The life-long haemolytic anaemia ended, but red cell deformability was reduced and the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve was normal.
