[Immuno-hemolytic anemia associated with lisinopril therapy. Report of a case].
The Authors describe a case of immuno-hemolytic anemia in a 67-year-old woman with hypertension who had been treated irregularly with lisinopril for three months. The hemolytic crisis resolved promptly after withdrawal of lisinopril and did not recur under high-dose methylprednisolone therapy.
