title: Fatal intravascular immune hemolysis induced by hydrochlorothiazide.
abstract: A patient receiving antihypertensive therapy developed acute intravascular hemolysis and died. Hemolysis was due to an immune process associated with antibody to thiazide. Only two other cases have been reported. Thiazide-induced hemolysis appears to be confined to those patients treated concommitantly with methyldopa.
