Abstract:
Cephalosporins are commonly used antibiotics in treatment of clinical infection. They frequently cause a positive direct antiglobulin test, but rarely cause hemolysis. The authors report a case of immune hemolytic anemia due to a second-generation cephalosporin, cefuroxime, by the drug adsorption mechanism.
