First author/referenceNumber of patientsClinicThromboembolic eventsComment
Yamashina46,154 Intravascular hemolytic anemia TE was communicated to have occurred Untypical presentation in comparison with other patients with CD59 because of lack of polyneuropathy as symptom 
Nevo,47 Ben-Zeev,48 Mevorach49  5 (plus 2 deceased historic cases) Intravascular hemolytic anemia and polyneuropathy Two of 7 had fatal cerebrovascular events Four patients treated with eculizumab 
Höchsmann50  Intravascular hemolytic anemia and polyneuropathy TE documented EEculizumab herapy initiated with overall improvement of the patient; within 78 mo after onset of anticomplement therapy no further TE* 
Haliloglu155  Intravascular hemolytic anemia and polyneuropathy Three of 3 had cerebrovascular events (1 fatal) EEculizumab herapy initiated with overall improvement of the patient 
Klemann156  Intravascular hemolytic anemia and polyneuropathy Fatal recurrent cerebrovascular events

Disease: isolated germline encoded homozygous CD59 deficiency (prevalence: too low to calculate). TE, thrombotic event.
