Figure 1 : Patterns of hemoglobin, reticulocytes,
platelets and bilirubin levels in the first 96 hours and onwards. (A)
Peripheral blood smear (60X) showing non-specific variable morphology:
anisocytosis with microcytes, spherocytes, schistocytes, elliptocytes,
macrocytes given elevated reticulocyte count, tear-drop cells, all
co-occurring with transfused red blood cells of normal
appearance. (B) Early anemia & thrombocytopenia associated with brief
reticulocytosis requiring
multiple blood transfusions, pRBCs transfusions (green arrowhead) and
platelet transfusions (black arrowhead). (C) pRBCs transfusion (green
arrowhead) requirement and hemoglobin maintenance with reticulocytopenia
and rapidly resolving thrombocytopenia over time. (D) Refractory
hyperbilirubinemia despite phototherapy and exchange transfusions (red
arrowhead) and a progressive conjugated fraction over time. (E)
Resolution of conjugated and unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia over time.
