Hemoglobin A is a widely used diagnostic tool for monitoring glycemic control in diabetes management. However, its accuracy can be influenced by various factors. We present a case of a 17-year-old boy with abnormally low Hemoglobin A levels caused by warm autoantibody-induced hemolytic anemia.

Inborn errors of immunity are monogenic disorders that predispose patients to immune dysregulation, autoimmunity, and infection. Some autoimmune diseases, such as autoimmune cytopenias, systemic lupus erythematosus, and inflammatory bowel diseases, are increasingly recognized as phenotypes of inborn errors of immunity. The objective of this article was to identify red flags or clinical/laboratory markers to suspect inborn errors of immunity in patients with autoimmune cytopenias, systemic lupus erythematosus, and inflammatory bowel diseases through a systematic literature review.

Introduction: Common variable immunodeficiency is a diagnosis of exclusion in immunodeficient patients with increased susceptibility to infections, hypogammaglobulinemia, deficient response to vaccination, or low percentages of switched memory B cells. In low- and middle-income countries, the elucidation and study of molecular defects in these patients may take decades.
Objective: To elucidate the genetic defect conferring impaired immunity in a patient diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency.

Autoimmune enteropathy (AIE) is a rare cause of chronic diarrhea associated with autoantibodies and susceptibility to other autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and atopic dermatitis. While it is more common in children, the prevalence of AIE in adults is increasing. Due to the nonspecific nature of its presenting symptoms and the lack of consistent findings, AIE can be challenging to diagnose.
