This case report presents a complex medical scenario involving early 60s female patient with a history of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) complicated by Evans syndrome, characterised by autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and immune thrombocytopenia. The patient had received various treatments, including steroids, rituximab, cyclosporine and acalabrutinib. The patient's neurological symptoms began around 3 years prior to presentation, with shaking of her right leg, followed by shaking of both hands, particularly the left hand.

Background: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is often refractory and relapsing, leading to increased mortality post-HSCT.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the cases of patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT) who underwent allo-HSCT to study their clinical features, the occurrence of AIHA post-HSCT, and treatment response and to explore the possible pathogenesis of AIHA.

Result: A total of 113 patients were registered in the study, out of whom 14 developed AIHA following allo-HSCT, resulting in a cumulative incidence of 12.

In this paper, we presented a case of sickle cell anemia who developed severe AIHA that failed to maintain response to multiple treatment lines, including steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, rituximab, and immune suppressive medications.
