Hepatitis-associated aplastic anemia is a well-recognized clinical syndrome in which marrow failure follows the development of hepatitis. Although aplastic anemia is intimately related to paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, until now, no cases of PNH-associated hepatitis have been described. We report a case of recurrent acute hepatitis preceding the clinical onset of PNH. Treatment of PNH with the complement inhibitor eculizumab (Soliris®) prevented both recurrences of episodes of intravascular hemolysis and liver enzyme alteration. This is the first known published case of PNH-associated hepatitis.
