[Multiple microthromboses with autoimmune hemolytic anemia after BNT162b2 mRNA vaccination].

A 68-year-old man was referred to our hospital with dizziness and mild fever one week after receiving the second dose of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2). Laboratory tests showed hemolytic anemia and a positive direct Coombs test, and he was diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). On admission, the patient had impaired consciousness with auditory hallucinations, and a head MRI scan showed multiple high-signal areas on diffusion-weighted imaging, suggesting multiple recent infarctions.
