Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Presenting with Fulminant Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia
We describe a female patient 9-year- old girl with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) who developed a fulminant autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) as an isolated symptom of her underlying disease. On admission, laboratory investigations were conducted and revealed high ESR 150 mm\h, severe anemia Hb was 3.4 g/dl with reticulocytosis 9%, low platelet count 74 \ 10^3\uL and positive direct Coombs tests. Upon further examinations, a diagnosis of SLE complicated by AIHA was reached, and methylprednisolone IVIG therapy was prescribed, and remission was approached.
