Microangiopathic hemolytic anemia historical perspective

The “microangiopathic hemolytic anemia” term was first coined by Symmers, a British physician in 1952. He described 33 patients presenting with constellation of symptoms of varying severity. The symptoms included fever, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and neurological deterioration^[1]. The neurological symptoms usually present at the latter course of the disease.
