Abstract:
A case is reported of an auto-immune haemolytic anaemia caused by IgM anti-D. This antibody, although active at 37 degrees C, gave stronger reactions at lower temperatures and appeared to activate complement. The auto-immune haemolytic anaemia was probably secondary to a non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
