Abstract
We report massive acute haemolysis associated with hepatitis A in a 36 year old Irish woman. Although mild anaemia is not uncommon during viral hepatitis, haemolysis of the severity observed in this patient has previously been reported only in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency.
