  • Title: Case Report: Tuberculosis-Induced Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia.
    Author: Alebbi SM, Kambal A, Abo Samra H, Sharaf Eldean MZ, Mohamed SF, Al-Shokri SD.
    Journal: Am J Trop Med Hyg; 2023 Feb 01; 108(2):313-316. PubMed ID: 36535253.
    Abstract:
    Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that affects different organs, causing multiple complications, including hematological sequelae. One of the most common TB-hematological complications is anemia of chronic disease. Very rarely autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) has been reported as an uncommon manifestation of TB. In this case, we present a female who presented with refractory AIHA, which was attributed to disseminated TB. The patient responded well to steroids, anti-TB medications, and rituximab.
