Abstract

In the autoimmune hemolytic anemia abnormal antibodies directed against red cells are produced by the patient himself. The pathologic mechanism in which erythrocyte survival is decreased as a result of the deposition of specific antibody on the red cell surface is uncertain. The abnormal antibody is most freqeuntly of the lgG or IgM class and occasionally may be IgA. A case of autoimmune hemolytic anemia was confirmed by CBC and Coombs test in a 11years old boy. We are reporting the laboratory data and our experiences of the patient with the reviews of the literatures.
