Is hemolytic anemia induced by a flu vaccine?

Condition analysis:
I am sorry to hear your grandson has got Hemolytic anemia. Your grandson has received flu vaccine few days back upon which he developed Hemolytic anemia.

Acquired Hemolytic anemia, can most probably be caused by the body’s reaction to vaccines, medications, infections and toxins. But certain studies do say that the predisposition to children to Hemolytic anemia following vaccination might be due to genetic causes too. This is all still in the research level, so nothing can be told confidently.

Autoimmune diseases might occur after immunization in some children because proteins on microbial pathogens are similar to human proteins and could induce immune responses that damage human cells. There are certain cases that have come to light due to this.

Hemolysis is destruction of blood vessels before their normal life span of 120 days. It commonly causes acute or chronic anemia, reticulocytosis, or jaundice. The most common treatment procedures used in Acquired Hemolytic anemia (AHA) is folate therapy, blood transfusion (if there is marked anemia).

In severe cases of immune-related hemolytic anemia, steroid therapy are given

Other forms like Intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIG) has been used for patients with AIHA (Auto Immune Hemolytic Anemia).

I hope you can start the treatment after discussing with your doctor whether it is actually acquired or hereditary cause of Hemolytic anemia.
