Abstract

A case of Kaposi's sarcoma which presented as a warm type of immune hemolytic anemia is described. The malignancy was discovered at the time of splenectomy, which was required for control of the hemolytic anemia. Three other cases of immune hemolytic anemia in patients with Kaposi's sarcoma have been reported. An association between Kaposi's sarcoma and immune hemolytic anemia is suggested. Careful examination of the skin for Kaposi's sarcoma seems appropriate in cases of immune hemolytic anemia.

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) occurs when antibodies directed against the person's own red blood cells (RBCs) cause them to burst (lyse), leading to an insufficient number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells in the circulation. Discover the latest research on AIHA here.
