Great to see our Computational Pathology fellow Jeremy at #USCAP_2026 presenting the work he led on QC models for whole slide imaging. This is critically important for using WSI for AI—since pre‑analytical factors can directly impact model performance and reliability.

A man in his 30s with sickle cell disease presented in vaso-occlusive crisis after flu-like illness. After transfusion of 1 RBC unit, his Hgb fell: 9 → 4 g/dL. Despite another transfusion IVIG/steroids, he remained anemic, hypoxic, and ↑ LDH. Dx: Hyperhemolysis Syndrome (HS).

🩺 Management:
-Avoid transfusion
-Immunomodulation to curb hemolysis: IVIG, high-dose steroids, rituximab, or eculizumab
-Supportive care: hydration, pain control, DVT prophylaxis, infection management
-If transfusion is essential → premedicate use extended antigen-matched RBCs

🔑 Key lessons:
-Always suspect HS in SCD with post-transfusion Hgb lower than baseline
-Avoid unnecessary transfusions
-Early hematology transfusion medicine consultation is critical for survival @leall_andrea @HaleyCorbin7 @dwu101 @TiarraPrice @BakeAndBiopsy @SamKhader
