*2.5.1 Mechanism involved or pathophysiology of drug induced hemolytic anemia*

Drug-induced haemolytic anemia is a type of blood disorder in which the body's defense system is triggered by drugs, resulting in an attack on its own red blood cells. This leads to premature destruction of red blood cells, known as haemolysis. The drug causes the immune system to see its own red blood cells as foreign. The body responds by producing antibodies that destroy its own red blood cells. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and/or immunoglobulin M (IgM) bind to antigens on the surface of red blood cells and begin to destroy them.
