A Case of Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

Shaik Jabeena, N. V. Ramadevi

Abstract: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia occurs when your immune system makes antibodies that attack your red blood cells. It can be primary [idiopathic] or result from an underlying disease or medication. There are two main types of autoimmune hemolytic anemias-warm antibody and cold antibody hemolytic anemias. Warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia is more commonly seen. The first line of treatment in this warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia is glucocorticosteroids and blood transfusion.
