A report of a rare case of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia in a patient with hodgkin's disease in whom routine serology was negative
Keywords:
DAT, AIHA, Hodgkin's disease, IgAAbstract
Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia can be negative for direct antiglobulin test. Hence the DAT negative patients cannot be ruled out from having AIHA when there is clinical suspicion of AIHA. We hereby report our case of AIHA with Hodgkin’s lymphoma who is DAT- negative.
