Abstract
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare hematopoietic stem cell disorder characterized by hemolysis, thrombosis and impaired bone marrow functions. PNH is rarely seen in childhood and usually presents with hypoplastic/aplastic anemia clinic. If the major clinical finding is hemolysis, eculizumab (monoclonal anti-C5 immunoglobulin) can be used for treatment. The other treatment options for PNH are immunosuppressive therapy and stem cell transplantation (SCT). Fluorescent aerolysin (FLAER)-based assay is a high sensitivity test for PNH diagnosis in children. FLAER has become the gold standard for the diagnosis and follow-up of PNH get today.
