Description
Hema K and co-authors present three cases of an illness in which the immune system destroys the patient's own red blood cells, in a 2026 case series. The illness, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, comes in warm, cold, and mixed forms, named for how the attacking antibodies behave. It can arise on its own or follow infections, immune diseases, or blood cancers.
The first patient, a 58-year-old woman with severe anemia and a swollen liver and spleen, proved to have the cold form, driven by an underlying leukemia. The second, a 55-year-old woman with jaundice, had the warm form. The third, an 18-year-old with severe anemia and a swollen spleen, had the mixed form. All three improved with treatment and support care. The authors stress careful blood testing to pin down the exact form, since care differs by type.
