Autoimmune Haemolytic Anaemia
Autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) is a group of acquired autoimmune disorders featured by autoantibody production against autologous red cell membrane antigens, causing premature destruction in the forms of extravascular or intravascular haemolysis.

Classification of AIHA includes four types: warm AIHA, cold AIHA (cold agglutinin, cold haemolysin), mixed type, paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria.

Key concepts:

Immunology: antibody types and mechanisms of action.

Clinical manifestations: demographic, onset and chronology, symptomatology, complications.

Laboratory findings: immunological and haematological.
