Abstract
Case: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an extremely rare bone marrow disorder caused by acquired mutations in the phosphatidylinositol glycan class A gene, which lead to a partial or total loss of the cellular complement regulators CD55 and CD59.1 In addition to complement-mediated hemolysis and cytopenia, venous and arterial thromboses at multiple and/or unusual sites are a common complication and occur in up to 44% of patients in historic PNH cohorts.1 2.
