Abstract
A number of extrinsic agents and disorders may lead to premature destruction of red blood cells. Among the most clearly defined are antibodies associated with immune hemolytic anemias.(1) The hallmark of this group of diseases is a positive coombs test (direct antiglobulin).(4) Various immune hemolytic anemias are autoimmune and may be idiopathic or related to various infections, immunologic diseases, immuno- deficiency diseases, neoplasms or drugs. In this case report, we discuss a case having autoimmune hemolytic anemia due to Epstein-barr virus.
