摘要
A 3-year-old boy present with a severe autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, triggered by IgG-class auto-antibodies, with hemoglobin levels decreased to 2, 1 gr/dL. A combined immunosuppressive regimen was begun together with multiple plasma-exchanges and transfusions which sustained the cardio-vascular balance until the specific therapy became effective.
