title: Two potential mechanisms of oxaliplatin-induced haemolytic anaemia in a single patient.
abstract: Only two patients with adequately documented oxaliplatin-induced autoimmune haemolytic anaemia have previously been reported. We report here a third patient with an immune-haematological finding favouring a bispecific mechanism (immune-complex and penicillin type) of oxaliplatin-induced haemolysis.
