Prompt response to rituximab of severe hemolytic anemia with both cold and warm autoantibodies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A 71-year-old male with severe autoimmune hemolysis with both cold agglutinins and warm antibodies was intolerant of prednisone and cyclophosphamide. Rituximab was given during a 60-day period when he required 41 units of packed cells to maintain hemoglobin above 75 g/l. Two weeks later hemoglobin stabilized at 95 g/l, and further transfusions were not required. A second course of rituximab was given 4 months later for continued hemolysis. A satisfactory hemoglobin was maintained for 9 months from initial treatment, when hemoglobin again fell to 65 g/L. A prompt response to a third course of rituximab was obtained. This is the second patient with both cold agglutinins and warm antibodies with severe hemolytic anemia who has had a prompt response to rituximab. This treatment should be considered when a rapid response is needed or when a patient has failed to respond to more standard therapies.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
