Yanagawa Y, Ota S, Tanaka N, Maekawa C, Nagasawa H. A Case of Abdominal Pain Due to a

Hemolytic Attack After Diving. Undersea Hyperb Med. 2026 Second Quarter; 53(2):333-336.

Introduction: We hereby present a case of abdominal pain resulting from a hemolytic reaction after

diving.

Case Report: The patient had preexisting hemolytic anemia triggered by cold stimuli. We hypothesize

that the hemolysis was induced by cold stimuli during winter diving.

Discussion: It is recommended that individuals with a preexisting hemolytic anemia refrain from diving.
