摘要：

Volatile nitrites (amyl and butyl) are popular recreational drugs, especially in the homosexual population. Haemolytic anaemia is a rare complication of nitrite inhalation and occurs when the reducing capacity of the red cell enzymes is overcome by the oxidizing effect of the nitrite. We describe here a patient with HIV infection who developed a profound haemolytic anaemia after repeated inhalation of large quantities of amyl nitrite.
