Popis: Abstract Hyperhemolysis syndrome (HS) is characterized by the occurrence of severe anemia with post‐transfusion hemoglobin and hematocrit levels being markedly lower than those present prior to transfusion. A high index of suspicion of HS in a multi‐transfused thalassemia patient allows prompt institution of therapy resulting in improved survival outcome.
