Autoimmune hemolytic anemia in chronic granulocytic leukemia.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Acrocyanosis revealing chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Cold agglutinin disease arising in the context of chronic lymphocytic leukemia can misdiagnose a warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

Treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma presenting simultaneously with acquired hemophilia and warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

Since both acquired factor VIII inhibitor in non-hemophiliac patients and warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia are uncommon disorders with no case-controlled trials, managing these diseases can be challenging. We present a case of a 75-year-old man in whom both diseases were present simultaneously with life-threatening bleeding. This case is an example of the successful initial management and long-...

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia in a patient with acute myelocytic leukemia.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) has been described in patients with lymphoid neoplasm with an etiologic relationship between the emergence of autoantibodies and lymphocyte dysfunction. Autoimmune disorders are less to develop in patients with other neoplasm like chronic myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. Few reports have been documented the development of i...

Evidence-based focused review Evidence-based focused review of the treatment of idiopathic warm immune hemolytic anemia in adults

Case 1. Robert Davies, a 50-year-old man, presents with tiredness and lethargy. Examination demonstrates pallor and jaundice. Investigations reveal anemia that is consistent with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA; Figure 1). He has no evidence of any other autoimmune disease or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and is not taking any medications; these factors suggest idiopathic AIHA. How ...
