Malnutrition from anorexia nervosa triggers severe complications of hereditary spherocytosis in an adolescent girl: A case report.

Hemolytic crises and aplastic crises in hereditary spherocytosis (HS) are most commonly triggered by viral infections. We present the case of an adolescent girl with HS who developed unexpected and life-threatening complications of her inherited hemolytic anemia as a consequence of anorexia nervosa and severe malnutrition.
