Abstract

An eight-year-old male child presented with progressive distension of abdomen, fever, pallor and jaundice with a history of tubercular contact. Investigations were suggestive of abdominal tuberculosis with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. The child responded well to a course of oral steroids with antitubercular treatment. A literature search did not reveal any previous case report of an association between tuberculosis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
