AB Hemolytic disease in childhood is frequently obscure in etiology and difficult to classify. Recently we have seen such a case in a 9-year-old Negro girl, which subsequently proved to be paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and which is reported in some detail not only because of its rarity in childhood but also because of the dearth of cases in the literature of PNH in Negroes. To our knowledge it has not been reported previously in a Negro child.Report of Case 
    The patient is a 9-year-old Negro girl whose birth and infancy were normal. There is no family history of anemia, and there are three siblings living and well, one additional sibling having died at nine months of age from dysentery.The child was seen in the pediatric clinic of the Indianapolis General Hospital at 5 years of age because of nasopharyngitis, with frequent subsequent visits because of upper respiratory infections
