摘要
Key Clinical Message Severe cold agglutinin disease with hemodynamic compromise requires rapid stabilization of the autoimmune hemolytic anemia as a bridge to the immunosuppressive effect of rituximab. Herein, we describe eculizumab treatment of severe complement-mediated hemolysis in a patient whose hemodynamic status deteriorated in spite of supportive blood transfusions and therapeutic plasma exchange.
