Abstract
Mixed autoimmune haemolytic anemia (AIHA) is defined by the presence of both warm and cold auto antibodies. Diagnosis is based on detection of autoantibodies by monospecific direct antiglobulin test showing a pattern of IgG and complement C3d and presence of cold agglutinins. We report a rare case of primary mixed AIHA in a 12 year old girl who responded to corticosteroids.Entities:
