Abstract:
We report the case of a female patient who at presentation fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of dermatomyositis and also had an autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. Although autoimmune haemolysis is a well recognized feature of a number of autoimmune disorders, it has not previously been described in association with dermatomyositis.
