Autoimmune hemolytic anemia caused by anti "e": A challenge: A case report with review of literature

Sangeeta Pahuja et al. Asian J Transfus Sci. 2017 Jul-Dec.

Abstract

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is featured by short red cell survival due to autoantibodies. AIHA caused by anti 'e' is a tough clinical situation as antigen 'e' is a highly prevalent antigen. The present case highlights the same and different issues related to it.

Keywords: Anemia; anti-e; autoimmune; hemolytic.
