  • Case presentation of a 25-year-old woman with wAIHA and autoimmune features
  • Treatment involved pulse-dose intravenous methylprednisolone, IVIG, and hydroxychloroquine
  • Laboratory evaluations monitored hemolysis and autoimmune markers
  • Hemoglobin increased from 3.2 g/dL to stable levels following treatment
  • Rapid resolution of hemolysis with normalization of bilirubin and recovery of platelet count
  • Successful management without the need for rituximab or splenectomy
