Abstract:

Mycoplasma infection is commonly associated with subclinical hemolysis. We report a case of Mycoplasma infection in a 15 year-old young lady who had severe anemia with hemoglobin level of 2.4 on presentations. There was clinical and radiological evidence of pneumonia, as well as elevated Mycoplasma antibody titer. Peripheral blood film was suggestive of AIHA with active hemolysis and Coombs test was strongly positive (4+) for IgG and C3d suggestive of warm AIHA. She was treated with oral Azithromycin, IV methylprednisolone, IV immunoglobulin and blood transfusion. She was discharged with oral prednisolone and showed a favorable recovery on blood count on follow up.
