Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia as a Rare Presentation of Pre-fibrotic Primary Myelofibrosis.

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is an uncommon chronic myeloproliferative disorder that is commonly associated with Janus kinase 2 (JAK-2), calreticulin (CALR), or thrombopoietin receptor (MPL) mutations. Pre-fibrotic PMF (also known as pre-PMF or early PMF) is a subtype of PMF that is defined by a lower grade of fibrosis. In this report, we present a rare case of warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) associated with pre-PMF.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between elevated vitamin B12 levels and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), which include types of blood cancers like CML, PV, MF, and ET, suggesting that higher B12 could indicate disease presence and activity.
- Data from 467 MPN patients showed that 20% had elevated B12 levels, particularly in those with CML, with significant reductions in B12 levels observed after one year of treatment.
- While increased B12 levels appear related to MPN activity, their effectiveness as a consistent diagnostic marker needs more research to establish reliable sensitivity, specificity, and cutoff values.

Background: Sepsis represents the most prevalent infectious complication and the primary cause of mortality in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). The risk of sepsis and the difficulty of treatment are significantly increased in MPN patients due to the need for immunomodulators and antibiotics.
Case Presentation: On June 9, 2023, a 69-year-old male was admitted to the hospital.
