Q: Chronic infection with which parasite is a known risk factor for strongyloidiasis hyperinfection?

Did You Know?

True. In drug-induced immune hemolytic anemia (DIHA), there are several mechanisms. A common one is the 'drug adsorption' or 'hapten' mechanism (e.g., with penicillin), where the drug binds to the red cell membrane, and the antibody is produced against the drug. The DAT is positive due to IgG (and sometimes complement) coating the red cell-drug complex.
