Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia from a Vaccine

What is Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia?

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a disease where the body views its own red blood cells as foreign, and attacks them. There are two basic types of autoimmune hemolytic anemia based on blood temperature: Warm and cold. Most cases are warm, and a much smaller percentage are considered cold autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia can have potentially serious and life-threatening results.

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia caused by a Vaccine

Medical studies show a connection between vaccines, like the flu shot, and Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia in both children and adults. Often these vaccine-triggered cases go unreported.

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a database managed by the FDA and CDC to collect data on rare side effects of vaccines. The most commonly reported vaccines that cause autoimmune hemolytic anemia are:

• Flu Shot 
• Pneumonia Vaccine
• Haemophilus B Conjugate (Hib) Vaccine

IMPORTANT: There is a multi-billion dollar government program to compensate people who get autoimmune hemolytic anemia after a vaccine

The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) was created by Congress in 1986 after a series of lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers threatened to create vaccine shortages. So far, this Federal trust fund paid out billions of dollars in damages to thousands of people suffering from adverse reactions to vaccinations.  Billions of dollars are available for future compensations as well.

Vaccine Induced Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia in Children

According to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, one of the likely causes of autoimmune hemolytic anemia is vaccination. In a study, two children developed the disease within weeks of vaccination at 20 and 21 months (Seltsam, Shukry-Schulz, Salama). Doctors diagnosed the reactions as autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and the researchers concluded that the disease “may occur more frequently than has been reported,” (Seltsam, Shukry-Schulz, Salama). Vaccine induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia may be more common than previously believed. One study described 55 cases of autoimmune hemolytic anemia in children after vaccination (Naleway et al,). These cases show many instances of children developing autoimmune hemolytic anemia shortly after routine vaccinations.

Vaccine Induced Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia in Adults

Several studies describe similar reactions in adults. Commonly, the reaction is seen after influenza (flu) vaccine. One study describes three reactions in adults, ages 19-67, that began within days of the flu shot (Shizuma). In some cases, autoimmune hemolytic anemia developed after the flu vaccine can be fatal (Shizuma).

Symptoms of Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

If you or a loved one have experienced any of the symptoms below after receiving a vaccine, consult your doctor immediately because the vaccine may have triggered the symptoms.

You should also contact a vaccine injury lawyer because you may be entitled to compensation. There are no legal costs for patients represented by mctlaw.

Symptoms may include:

• Unusual weakness 
• Fatigue 
• Breathing difficulties
• Jaundice
• Dark urine 
• Paleness of the skin
• Enlarged spleen

Diagnosis of Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia:

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia can only be diagnosed by a healthcare professional. They will perform a blood test and review your medical background for more information.

Vaccines work by stimulating our immune system in a safe and protective way. Rarely, the immune system appears to be over-stimulated, leading to autoimmune diseases, like autoimmune hemolytic anemia. If you believe this rare reaction happened to you or a loved one, contact mctlaw to have our team review your case.

As an experienced leader in these types of lawsuits, we were confident the firm would have the expertise. However, what surprised us most was the high level of excellent customer service from the firm’s staff!

Pat R.

I can’t recommend this firm enough. They have an outstanding team that truly care for their clients…I have been awarded a fair six figure settlement.

Nate M.

When I say “they went to bat” for me…this Law Firm literally did just that. They persevered to bring the hard-nosed Manufacturer to settle and provide me some recompense for everything I had to endure which led to this suit.
