Novel Monoclonal Antibody Therapy in a Patient With Treatment-Refractory Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia.

In autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), hemolysis is the hallmark symptom. Cold agglutinin disease (CAD) and warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) are the two major forms of AIHA. Hemolysis is complement dependent in CAD, whereas wAIHA is a partially complement-mediated disorder.
