Disseminated intravascular coagulation due to IgM-mediated autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
Pediatr Blood Cancer. 2011; (2): 329-31
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) due to red cell hemolysis has been previously attributed to transfusion-related hemolytic reactions, but not to autoimmune hemolytic anemia. We report a case of DIC in a child with complement-fixing IgM-mediated cold-agglutinin autoimmune hemolysis, which resulted in arterial thrombosis and gangrene of the upper and lower extremities.
