Bijaya Mohanty et al. J Family Med Prim Care. 2019 May.

Abstract

Cold agglutinin-induced hemolytic anemia as the primary presentation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is extremely rare. Only few cases have been reported in literature so far. Here, we report a 17-year-old girl who presented with features of hemolytic anemia and later diagnosed as a case of SLE.

Keywords: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia; Coombs test; cold agglutinin; systemic lupus erythematosus.
